using id_rsa key #45

This may have been covered, and if so I apologize and would appreciate redirection.

I've been using connectbot with the hackers keyboard and it was using my id_rsa file for ssh. This is on a Nexus 7 and all of the apps mentioned below have been loaded using google play.

I just purchased an amazon-branded BT kb and while it works with connectbot, none of the keys like esc, control, etc register.

I tried VX Connectbot and it works like a charm. Thus far I can't find anything that doesn't work right.

My question is that when I configured my account on connectbot it lets me specify the id_rsa file but VX CB doesn't seem to have that option.

Any help would be appreciated.

I think I spoke too soon. Sometimes "something happens" and I have to press FN and then Control and then whatever key to make it work, and sometimes it just stops working. Rebooting fixes everything, but that's time-consuming.

But boy, when it works, it's great!
