Sorry, just found out from Google that you can just simply use the “Call” button, i.e. Lower left soft button to generate ESC on putty.

Really cool! This sites really rocks, now bash-ing and vim-ing on my E61i is a total breeze! The connection’s faster than 9300, too! Wonder why I didn’t look for these key mappings at the very beginning :p

How about ESC? Is there any simple Ctrl+ combination to use? Really missed the ESC button on my old Commie.. :(

Just know that from having misconfigured terminals back in the day as an early Linux user.

Hi,

This really saved my life .. i needed the tab-key and did not find anything in the web until now.
Where did you get that CTRL-i info from ? just trying ?
Is there a list of shortcuts for special keys somewhere available ?

You may as well use vim itself for mapping using an “imap ctrl-y ESC” command put into .vimrc to escape input mode. Works fine… (remember “ctrl-y” is generated using “ctrl-v ctrl-y” and ESC is “ctrl-v ESC”)

Hey Marco, yea, that option key is handled completely device side. You must have a different keyboard layout than I do, I’m not familiar with the others. You should be able to use ctrl-i as tab if you have ctrl working properly in your config.

Yes, putty was the reason to get the E61 and has definitely been the killer app for me. However, I don’t find any keys to remap – I would love to remap the bluekey (let’s call it ‘Option’ or NoOption – for Nokia Option :) + l, but it doesn’t seem to even react in putty. xxd gets nothing sent… and I can’t figure out how to send a tab…. If you have my problems, a tip: I have resorted to use the star instead, like this: cd /e*/ap*2

as a debian, irssi, screen, e61 user — I thank you. I desperately needed something like mapchan to fix things!
