This is not exact. It might work in a terminal emulator, but it is not a universal thing. Tab and Esc are useful in a lot of programs (such as Esc for stop current page loading in a browser, and inserting a Tab in a word processor), and there those CTRL characters do not replace them. -- Matan. _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
