Remap a Ctrl key for WebBrowser-based SSH
Hello,
I was wondering if there was any possible way to remap the Kindle keyboard to make it send a CTRL key keycode over its web browser when the 'alt' key is pressed. The reason I ask is that I've just recently installed shellinabox on my linux webserver, and have been lightly enjoying my Kindle's new psuedo-SSH powers (it's like Ajaxterm). However, a huge set back for me is the lack of a CTRL key on the Kindle. I use a screen/dvtm combination of CLI program management, and the CTRL key is an absolute necessity to use these programs. So, is there a way to switch that rarely-used Alt key on the Kindle to emulate a CTRL key press? Or, some other alternative way to get that CTRL key? |

Well, if anyone is following in my footsteps, I think I found a solution.
Instead of remapping the entire kindle3 keyboard, it's much easier to just change the mod keys associated with the screen and dvtm commands. Thus: Code:
screen -x -e\,a This is important because, by using Code:
dvtm -m , As one might guess, in order to control the dvtm, one must type ,a[command]; where [command] is whatever dvtm command you would like to use. Also, in order to send a normal comma to the dvtm window, simply type a comma twice. Thus I'm pretty sure that ,a,a will get you a normal comma. Comma is used simply because it is the first thing always selected by the Sym button on the K3. |

I can't believe I missed this (I regularly read hackaday). I'm sorry, but could you explain how I run it on the kindle? I've gotten it jailbroken, but his instructions of "run the program" are vague. |
