Thanks the developer's works.

I'm using connectbot on NEC LifeTouch NOTE(LTN in this text) has a
hardware-keyboard. The keyboard has full special keys, it is follow as;

I hope to using LTN instead a mobile UNIX terminal. However, these keys
not running on connectbot. Android 2.2 supported by LTN has no common
profiles of hardware keyboard, So The keyboard of LTN support it by
original keycodes.

I tried to fix the source code of connectbot for a keycodes of LTN, but
I could not. I edited TerminalKeyListener.java and build an apk,
install to LTN and running it. But I had no results I expect because I
cannot read-write Java well.

The Android application that I think cool supports a scanning keycode
for special keys. Does development plan like that? It means connectbot
runs on more many hardwares.

I hope it supports the keycode scan for at least Ctrl, Alt, and Esc
key, Then I'll use an Emacs, Shell, Vim more comfortably. ;-)
