===vi_'s xkb setup===

I use the english layout.  All (useful) symbols have been added to the keyboard rendering the blue+ctrl menu redundant.  I am a heavy xterm user and would feel crippled without this set-up.

WARNING! This article assumes you have read the main article on maemo xkb mapping!

Features include:
*F1-F12 on blue+shift+top row 
*Tab on blue+return
*escape on Shift+backspace (for some reason 3rd level delete will not work :( )
*Page up/down & home end on arrows without destroying shift highlighting (in fact shift+end works as it should)
*? moved to fourth level, allowing full stop with fn locked (makes typing in IP addresses easy)
*@ moved to fourth level, allowing use of space when fn locked.
*Euro symbol replaced with tilde (swap to £ if you are euro)
*Fourth level 'k' is '()'
*Fourth level 'Z' and 'x' are '[]'
*Fourth level '!' is '|'
*All useful symbols are now on the fourth row, read the configuration below for details

Substitute the following parts into your rx-51 file.  '''ALWAYS TEST to ensure you have done it right BEFORE rebooting or you WILL end up with an unbootable system.'''

===xbindkeys!===

The following allows:

*fullscreen toggle of any application with ctrl+space
*middle click with blue+stylus down
*right click with shift+stylus down

Put the following in your .xbindkeysrc and launch with:

xbindkeys -f /home/user.xbindkeysrc

NOTE! You also need to install xdotool and wmctrl.

"wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b toggle,fullscreen"
 m:0x4 + c:65
 Control + space

"xdotool click 2"
 m:0x80 + b:1 + release

"xdotool click 3"
 m:0x01 + b:1 + release
