I would like to see a third keyboard that is programmable. That way, I could have a "Call" key that types the word "call ". Also, I second the request for arrow keys, though I admit the vi bindings do have advantages and I could probably learn to live with them. I realize the primary fat finger shell keyboard doesn't have room for four more keys, but I think we can get away with just one more. I'd be happy with a single, grand-unified-cursor button that, when held, moves the cursor in the direction I tilt the phone (relative to initial position). Editing or perusing a file would be like playing mokomaze in ASCII. Alternately, when not pressed, the icon and action of the single cursor button could change depending upon the absolute tilt (left, right, up down, page up, page down, home, end) and it would otherwise work as a normal button. --Ben _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
