Adding Pipe character to N900 terminal toolbar
First I must excuse for not moderating comments. I get a LOT of spam comments. That has made me think about changing blogging system for something that has better handling of comment spam(and also more flexible) but I am not changing it right now
One of the things which has been irritating me when using my n900 when I have been on call is that it was very hard to get to the | (pipe character) in the terminal - and I think that is kind of essential in a terminal on unix/unix-like systems ;-) (Nokia - why have added buttons to the toolbar which are on the keyboard and left out pipe…have you been drinking?)
So actually it is easy to get…saw the tip over at http://linuxjournal.com/ (great magazine btw.) you just have to do thius in the terminal:
gconftool-2 --set --type list --list-type=string /apps/osso/xterm/keys '[Tab,Escape,Page_Up,Page_Down,bar]' gconftool-2 --set --type list --list-type=string /apps/osso/xterm/key_labels '[Tab,Esc,PgUp,PgDn,|]'
The first one adds the key to toolbar(bar is the X name for the key) The second one adds the label (I did a mistake first to use keys_labels…it is key_labels)
See you
