Lon,

thanks for the pointer. Emacs is working fine now. I want to finetune this
and post a brief summary: It feels as if the usefulness of my 770 just
doubled.

Thanks again,

Stefan

I just tried lon's recipe for xmodmap modifiers on both the stowaway and freedom mini keyboards. All is hunky-dory for typing on sites like this one. Thanks again lon for your good work!

A cheap Y usb cable together with a usb hub also allows a normal USB keyboard to be connected,
as detailed elsewhere on this site. Going mini, I decided to order the inexpensive and tiny "keysonic" nano usb keyboard:

However at the moment the stowaway Think Outside is my favourite.

It seems I don' t have any problems getting all the keyboard characters in this text box. What problems are other people having?

Anyway, yes, it seems to never stop Searching -- but you should see your keyboard in the list of found devices. Click on it and the Search stops.

See my "blog" for my adventure with the latest driver.

I just bought a stowaway BT keyboard and it works great !

The only point is that I have the french version and the keymap doesn't exist.

I'm trying to create it myself with xev :
http://ploum.fritalk.com/stowaway-fr.map

But I don't understand how to set the symbol of a blue modified/green modified key. (in xev, it appears like I don't have the modifier key pressed)

Also, I don't know how to obtain the name of some symbols ? (for example, I want keycode 48 to be "ù" or how do I set "é" "è" ?)

Also, the keycode 20 must be a deadkey, don't know how to configure that.

Thanks for informations.

You may check this http://fanoush.webpark.cz/maemo/#kbdd but you need some linux skills. In worst case you will need to figure out keyboard keycodes for proper support. It is doable but a bit hard for newbie. Or you may ditch the keyboard and buy one that supports HID profile.

I have just acquired a Think Outside BT keyboard. I have no doumentation to get bonded with my 770. If some one could tell me how to do that, I would be very appreciative.

Hi,

Ctrl-Fn-Fn puts the ThinkOutside Stowaway into pairing/discoverable mode, use this with the BlueTooth plugin - more instructions at its homepage.

HTH,

Andrew

I am curious as to whether anyone has tried the new Brando mini-bluetooth keyboard with their 770, and if so, what they thought of it? It is amongst the cheapest bluetooth keyboards I have found.
