Of for f*cks sake! If you really don't have anything helpful about the topic to say then just stay quiet, please! I'm fed up having my inbox full of unnecessary notifications about threads.

You can start checking the status of this project by going here, mentioned in the first post.

Great app, I think a cursor would be useful, at least 2 arrows for left/right...
Thanks!

Definitely needs arrow keys, a virtual keyboard is virtually *cough* useless without them, if you don't want to use stylus for placing the cursor....
I'm actually waiting desperately for some kind-hearted person (equipped, unlike me, with the necessary programming knowledge) to add arrows to the stock landscape qwerty!
Has nobody else been missing those?

Thank you w00t and frals for starting this off!

Sorry, I'm not seeing a need for arrow keys. A usefulness, yes, and now that you've brought it up I suppose I can agree, but I feel it's a low priority feature. It does not take that much effort to put the cursor in the desired spot by using just fingers. If I can do it (with reasonable accuracy) on this post while typing from the N900 in the quick-reply box not zoomed in, with my blunt and inconveniently-opposite-of-stylus-like thumbs, I believe that other people can easily learn the skill through just a tiny bit of effort.

That said, I understand the convenience and expedience arrows would add for some people, so I agree.

In the meantime, frals, w00t, eternal, anyone else: How much money would I have to give you to get you to work on this project until it's finished and reasonably usable? I am being reasonably serious here. I feel like getting the N900 to it's full potential is extremely worth it, including paying for it (so long as it's understood that payment is for the service of working on the open-source project, not for the end-result product). Hopefully enough people will join me in this that no one has to spend too much, but we'll see.

So, someone who knows hildon and this keyboard project well enough: throw out a figure. What will it take for you to focus on this project?
