Unfortunately, due to the way Google wrote Android, it's not possible to set Search to an Alt-'something else' key. It's either on its own keyboard key or nothing.

I assume everything else worked fine like home right?

Good idea! Uploaded a new version and added tab as fn-space for all supported devices.

Unfortunately, this is less useful than I had hoped. Android keyboards don't have a tab key, so Android apps are too stupid to know what to do with it. Browser will actually type in a tab in a form instead of moving to the next field. Auto-complete doesn't work in terminal emulator.

I think if you use SSH though, it should work there. Let me know if it does or doesn't. That and maybe document editing ended up being the only thing it's really useful for I think.

Auto-complete, as well as command line editing and history are shell dependent. If you change your shell in the terminal emulator, assuming you have another installed, they will work. If you have titanium backup installed, you probably already have busybox's ash and don't even realize it.

This is great added functionality. Any chance of moddiing one of the kernels that has camera access? Thank you again.

Thanks for the compliment!

I'm not involved in any kernel development so far, so probably not. What is it you'd like to see one of those kernels do?

XDAndroid work is basically in 3 parts:
1. Kernel coding development. This gets hardware working, and so is the most critical type of development at this stage, since we have so much hardware that isn't working right. This is the zImage and the module.
2. System coding development. This gets Android working right on top of hardware that is already working right, which is also very important. This is the system.ext2/rootfs.img.
3. High level system work. This is what people in WinMo refer to as cooking by the chefs, taking pre-existing stuff, and tweaking configurations and files (in system.ext2 or rootfs.img) and packaging it up without coding anything new. This is all that I've done so far.

The 3 parts are fairly independent from each other. So you can take my modified rootfs, and it works with any kernel you like, for example the camera-enabled test kernel.

Thanks for the explanation. So I should be able to use one of the testing kernels without messing up the work you've done on the keys then, right?
