Great! Very useful responses; thanks!

I guess my complaint (maybe fixed in the n900?) is that the toolbar setup doesn't make it clear what maps to what (here, "bar" -> |) Is there a guide out there somewhere that I've been missing all my life? I tried to add the literal character and (I think) the word "pipe." It silently accepted my input. However, whenever I hit the "button," it just stared at me blankly.

Just goes to show you that it doesn't pay to spend your time graduating; you lose sync with what's important in life.

Urxvt ctrl+i - generates tab for me.

Hmm commented to soon I see you figured it out later... This is generally set in input.conf in /etc or as a default keybinding. It works for example alos in rissi and others.

As long as the keyboard works well with game emulators I am good

Still, looks like they had more room to slide the keyboard down more and make room for a d-pad, but perhaps the space in that area under the case is taken up by circuits?

The only input.conf in Ubuntu is in /etc/bluetooth/ which is not it.

Where is it set as a default keybinding then?

Actually, the Fremantle xterm no longer has a configurable toolbar. Votes for the bug and/or patches welcome of course.

How annoying. Well, the terminal is one of the open-source components I believe, so maybe someone can patch in the old Maemo 4 functionality, obviously making it finger-friendly at the same time, and ideally offering some kind of lookup feature, to fix the problem solarion just mentioned.

In the code. I'm guessing readline.

man readline has it /etc/inputrc to be precise... and there's also ~/.inputrc

some shortcuts not mentioned in the manual:

Ctrl + Shift + X : opens xterm
Ctrl + Shift + P : takes a screenshot and saves the png in the device 'Images' folder
