Hook a Bluetooth keyboard up, and it works just like you said.

Because, as I said in my first post, they keyboard on the N800 is NOT an X function, it is a function of GTK, which, as I also said in my previous post, is NOT A FUNCTION OF X. It is a layer ABOVE X. That is like saying "How come when I change my Gnome theme on my local computer, my remote sessions don't change their theme! Gnome broke X!" No, themes are a level above the X protocol - just like the virtual keyboard. > It is generating characters, just like any physical keyboard. No, it is NOT. The Hildon keyboard is a GTK entity, and is NOT generating X keypress events. > Why should there be a difference for what should be an identical function? > Because they AREN'T identical functions, they are similar looking functions. That's like saying that because a zebra looks like a horse, it is identical to a horse, just stripy-er. They aren't the same, they don't have the same number of chromosomes, they aren't the same. The Hildon keyboard is a function of GTK, not X. It does not generate X keyboard events, it generates GTK events OUTSIDE OF X. Now, take a few moments, and READ WHAT I JUST WROTE.
