Hello
I can't imagine you really use vi on a phone ;)
Actually there is no escape key... maybe the arrow keypad would be a place where to add it

Hello Cyril, add me to the list of people that would be very very happy if Smart Keyboard Pro included CTRL and ESC keys in the Arrow keypad window (where TAB key already is).

I use Connecbot to ssh into our servers just to do basic stuff, one of them being to ping servers. Since ping is cancelled using CTRL+C combo, I have a hard time doing it with Galaxy S (no physical keyboard). Yes, you can supply number of pings to the command, but I never remember that before after I already execute the command ;)

Thanks much in advance!

On my phone (HTC Aria) you just need to press the optical button and then your letter key. This would take care of the ctrl key. The escape key requires a double tap on the optical button. Here is a link to a tutorial. http://code.google.com/p/connectbot/wik ... ftKeyboard
