I still think that some sort of modular keyboard (i mean: template, skin,
whatever you may call it) would be the best solution: everyone chooses what
fit's better for his needs. And everyone can develope in a simple way some
sort of keyboard in the meanwhile, and we have plenty to choose from for

Certainly sounds like an idea worth implementing on a mobile device. When you

The terminal must be functional. I'll have a look at the code and whether I
can add something like this to play with.
Assignable buttons at the top of the terminal would be handy, allow the user to
assign the most common commands.

a wheel dialer, like the good old phones? or maybe a exagonal layot, you
know, with the keys fully filling the part assigned to them, i hope you
understand. Or even some sort of panning and zooming dialer, like you see
the whole dialer, then you press on key, and it zooms to such a degree that

I was actually thinking of a linearized rotary dial. You basically have
a scrollbar on one the side of the screen. All you would do is drag the
