Thanks guys
The Ctrl I doesn't work in any of the programs that I am after.
The Chr key does work but you have to hit the tab button on screen.
What I'm after is the ability to jump between boxes on a web page when I am entering text. Maybe remapping is the only way to achieve this.

scroll down to find this line
Code:
key <SPCE> ( [ space, space, space, space ] );
Code:
key <SPCE> ( [ space, space, Tab, Tab ] );
This is a pretty common hack, you can find out more by googling that file.

In many instances the the navigation pad on the N810 keyboard will jump between input fields. There are a number of subtle differences in operation between the stylus keyboard, finger keyboard, slide out keyboard and the SU-8W Nokia bluetooth keyboard. There are some special characters like "|" which are different on all these keyboards. "-" for example requires a shift on the stylus keyboard and a "Fn" shift on the bluetooth keyboard. The slide out keyboard provides "-" un-shifted as with a standard Qwerty keyboard.

VI is a hard editor to use if you're new to it. I used "apt-get install nano" to get, IMHO, a more basic but approachable editor.

now when you hit Fn + space you'll get a tab. Very handy.Code:key <SPCE> ( [ space, space, Tab, Tab ] );
