    It looks like the only setting possible now in xterm is changing the font ?!

    How about:
    - adding more keys to the bar
    - hide the bar (eg: when using a bluetooth keyboard)

    Those were useful things...

    I'm sure Xterm can be recompiled with modified features... the joys of FOSS.

    That's exactly what I was afraid of: having to do it myself...

    Can someone at least point us to the config file for that bar, so we can put our own custom keys on there?

    No, that's for the keymap. I want the terminal key bar.

    I'm not sure about Fremantle, but in Diablo it's settings are stored in gconf under :
    Code:
    /apps/osso/xterm
    There are 2 string lists there:
    Code:
    key_labels
    and
    Code:
    keys
    Where each entry in 'key_labels' corresponds to it's entry in 'keys'.

    Fore example; I have an entry in 'key_labels':
    Code:
    |
    whose corresponding entry in 'keys' is:
    Code:
    bar
    which gives me the pipe symbol.

    I hope this information is useful to you in Fremantle as well.

    The following works to add the "|" button on the Fremantle osso-xterm bar:

    Code:
    ~ $ gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/xterm/key_labels -t list --list-type=string "[Tab,Esc,PgUp,PgDn,|]"
    ~ $ gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/xterm/keys -t list --list-type=string "[Tab,Escape,Page_Up,Page_Down,bar]"
    I should probably also mention the open bug for this, you know what to do ;-)

    The key bar probably needs up/down keys too since the arrow keys a crippled of Scandinavian/some European keyboard models.

    Thanks iKneaDough! I used the Chinook gconf-editor and set up my Fremantle osso-xterm the way I liked it.

    Just a note, the ~ key, which is a pain to get to on the N900 (Fn-Ctrl, screen tap on ~ key, space) is "asciitilde" in "keys".
