On the Nokia770 advancing, full screen, rotation, etc. button functions
don't work if the Bluetooth keyboard plugin is installed
(http://770.fs-security.com/maemo-bt-plugin). I could get rotation and
fullscreen to work by pushing the home button and then ctapping on the
program icon. Advancement ( + - button) does not work though and
fullscreen cannot be restored to non-fullscreen. I could use the BT
keyboard shortcut Alt-C to close FBReader stuck in fullscreen mode. The
only way to restore FBReader's full functionality is by restarting.

This is quite unfortunate because I want to be able to use both the BT
keyboard (Thinkoutside Stowaway) and FBReader.

Actually the hardware keys are function keys, so try pressing F2-F8 etc
on your usb keyboard (I forget what is what, but you'll figure it out
quick)

This of course is far from optimal, since those keycodes are not fun if
you want to use a usb keyboard with VNC or some other remote desktop
tool on the 770, as then you are not able to use function keys for
anything else - but that's another story.

It's a possibility for you anyway.

My keyboard is BlueTooth not USB and the problem is that the FBReader
buttons don't work even after switching off the keyboard. The typical
scenario is that I use the keyboard with the Nokia770, then I put the
keyboard away and go to bed to read with FBReader. This is when the
buttons don't work unless I reboot.
