Oh, another Q1U key mapping change you can make is to map the "Menu" button to F4. F4 opens the Hildon menu in the Midbrowser (found by spelunking in the Midbrowser source, but it looks like it works in other Hildon apps, I tested it in tasks-hildon), useful for getting to bookmarks and stuff. Optionally you can just hit F4 on the virtual keyboard instead of mapping a key for it. The drawback of changing the mapping of the Menu button is that it is by default mapped to the regular menu event (which brings up the right click menu in GNOME apps), so you lose that.
If you want to map the Menu button to F4, you can again edit the .fdi, or run this command: sudo setkeycodes e054 62 Is there a place in the wiki, or some other online location, that quirks like this could be documented on a per-device basis? It would be nice to have something that describes what features work (touchscreen, wifi, audio, etc) on different devices (and device versions), and also be able to give tips on what changes can be made to suit the install for the particular devices (button mappings, turning on the hide buttons for the left panel to get the full screen width back, hitting F11 to toggle full screen apps, etc). I would be happy to maintain it for the Q1U-EL, and any other devices I can get my hands on. > > Turgut, > > I think the issue you have with the arrow keys not acting like arrows on > the Q1U is because they are mapped as up = F1, down = F3, right = F10, > left = F9.
