I use Raster's Illume keyboard, and select the Terminal layout, and most of my editing is done with mc, Midnight Commander. "mc -e text.txt" fires it up editing that text file, though I usually have it running in file manager mode already, so I F4 to edit (esc then '4' subs in mc for F4) or tap the 'edit' button at the bottom. j _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
