See if you can type this: ~user

The symbol before user is a tilde. It is on the Virtual Keyboard, but it doesn't work on mine. I would like to know if others have the problem as well.

Yep, I can type that by keying in:
~<space>user

Edit...
By this I mean entering the "~" character on the symbol OSK.

As les_garten says, if you want a tilde without it being an accept, type tilde then space. The space will be discarded, but it will make the tilde work.

For tab, many applications (including Xterminal) recognize control-I.

Roger

Links to files, please!

On your N900, type

n i ~ n o

Congratulations! You've just written "boy child" in Spanish! Or you might be referring to the weather system...

Mostly good impressions. I've only installed official applications from Maemo Select and Extras but am getting messages saying not enough memory. I'm trying a reboot but have to do some work soon.

For anyone wondering, I removed the friend IM aggregator widget and rebooted and no more problems with the memory message. I don't know if that was the problem but it mention problems with messages, so that was my guess.

writing this from my brand new N900. Wuhu! :)

One problem: My operator id is shown two times, next to each other on the desktop ?

Like this: http://www.fonearena.com/blog/wp-con...nboxing_31.jpg

Also, id doesn't show any cell id?

Is this a bug ?

See this thread for XTerm customisation tips.

See this thread for re-mapping the keyboard.

updated post, noticed that the arrow keys don't work in the app manager and other applications to scroll.
