Just put Honeycomb on a new Nook Color and ran into the same issue. Can't
really use any text UIs without arrow keys!

Same for motorol xoom, please add arrow keys so we would be able to use this
cool application asap.

Makes me cry when I get alerted to a service failure and I only have my
xoom+phone combo on me. Sure, I can SSH in and have a poke about... but
configuration changes become rather frustrating :-\

+1 on this issue. This priority should be critical.

The tab key is VERY important to me. I use it more than any key other than
space of bet, for auto complete of long files and such. I's love to see some
thing like comment #9. If not, my very first android programming may be adding
"shake for tab".

ssh is just unusable for me without up/down keys.

I don't know whether it would help those others who are asking for this (while
we wait for this issue's eventual implementation ;) )... I discovered "The
Hackers Keyboard" [1] which may provide a temporary reprieve for us :)

Priority for this problem should be higher than medium because without this
feature ConnectBot is close to useless on new devices.

Just a note for people wanting arrow keys. The Swype keyboard will give you
arrow keys and other useful useful functions if you swype from the Swype key to
the SYM key.

Im not sure where people are using arrow keys but typically in programs (ie:
vi) you can use:
h - left
j - down
k - up
l - right

Another alternative is to switch into "vi editing mode" (if your shell supports
it... busybox ash does).
Just configure connectbot's post-login automation to execute "set -o vi" (or
run it manually) and then you're able to edit the current line like in
vim-editor.
Example:
$ foo # execute a command
bar
<ESC>k # changes from "insert" into "normal" mode and sends "cursor up"
(see comment #18)
<ESC>a # return back into "insert" mode (in this example appending at
current position)

Would love to see this working in the nexus 4. Really can't do much without my
arrows. I use them for history search all the time.

I wanted this also, pull the softkeys branch on andlingers-softkeys repository.
I made four changes:
* use font for "ctrl" and "esc" keys, rather than image, with a new button
style so they are easier to click on small screens
* when extra keys are visible, also provide tab and arrows
* when esc/tab/arrows are clicked, do not hide it immediately (so you can press
the same key more than once)
* added setting to make the extra keys visible all the time (but they are
transparent when not in use, so they do not get in the way)
I tweaked these over a month span, and as of two weeks ago they are "perfect"
and I have not had to change them since, so I would really appreciate testing
or feedback.
