So I changed the binding of full screen toggle to Shift+Fn+Space (which otherwise conflicts with [[N900 Shortcuts and Gestures|Maemo key bindings]]) and added additional ones for tab (\t) and escape (\e).

The last two entries require

They emulate middle and right mouse-clicks.

In order to have more space in the 2GB image, I have moved $CHROOT/usr/share/doc and $CHROOT/var/cache/apt/archives to /home/user and provided symlinks. From debian chroot:

To also get more space for installed software, the same can be done for example with $CHROOT/usr/share/doc :
 
-
cd /usr/share
 
-
cp -a doc /home/user/.easydebdoc
 
-
rm -r doc

(with an eye on suggested and recommended packages which are not installed automatically). Always using "nice" in front of "apt-get" was suggested [http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=949363&postcount=2083 here] to avoid the sporadic phenomenon of reboots in the middle of the process, which always leaves the image file system corrupted. In this case one needs to start all over from a fresh image or from a <b>backup</b>(!)ed one. (Nicety can be increased to "nice -n 19" if needed.) I personally haven't suffered from this reboot problem after I just restricted the amount of packages installed in one go.

By now, squeeze has further (security) updates of 3.2.1, which can be installed by the longer version above.
 
Then revert $CHROOT/etc/apt/sources.list back to lenny only. Besides being on the safe side for future installations, this also frees quite some memory in the image.
