Is there a way to re-map the hardware keys? Specifically I use ConnectBot quite often to do SSH stuff but without an OK key I don't have access to escape or control.

Is an OK button mapped anywhere? If not is there a way to map one?

Another option would be the ability to map the Control/Esc buttons elsewhere.

Alas, i know of no app to perform this dynamically...

Using linux, download the kernel build stuff - lots of directions in this forumn, 95civic has good pointers - you need this to run the kcm program to create a compiled version of the kcm file.

unzip a full android build onto you system
mount the rootfs.img
(mount -loop -o rw rootfs.img somediryoucreatedasamountpoint)

update a kcm file (ie rhod400_microp-keypad.kcm) (its a text file) and change the mappings as desired. compile the kcm to create a kcm.bin

copy the updated rootfs to you storage card.

It is probably easier to ssh to you phone over wifi
