http://code.google.com/p/mobileterminal/issues/detail?id=267

There doesn't appear to be a way to use the ctrl key, apart from ctrl-c
which is in the gestures menu. This is particularly a problem for me if I
ssh to a machine using screen or tmux, since managing the session involves
lots of ctrl-a, ctrl-b, etc. I'm using r520.

Have your read the wiki pages yet? The bullet key (big black dot on special
char page) is used for ctrl

Ah, sorry about that. I did glance at it, but when it said you could enter
ctrl with a down-right swipe (which worked with the old version but not
now) I didn't read further.

Hmm, on second thought: that doesn't work in the shortcuts menu. I can
enter bullet-b as a shortcut, but when I use it a literal bullet it
transmitted.

Shortcuts need to be treaten in a special way, but you need to ask
allen.porter how exactly.
If you wish to use it normally, then use bullet-(char)

None of the above seems to work. By bullet key do you mean the period sign?
(.) coz that's the only round thing i see no "big black circle"

I only see the period (.) sign, no big black dot on my keyboard
unfortunately. Tried both the English and German keyboards.

I'm on iOS 4.3.3(8J2)

Could you please take a screenshot of your keyboard where you see the =

On my keyboard, you need to hold down the dash key (-), then you can select
the bullet character (•). Hope this helps others. Can't wait for keyboard
recognition of ESC and CTRL...

In the English keyboard, press the 123 key at the bottom, then the #+= key
that appears above it. The • symbol is at the very end of the second row,
just above the backspace key.

I have the Ctrl key working with bullet from the keyboard, but being able
to program it in to a shortcut would be a big plus. Can someone
(allen.porter) post information about this? Thanks in advance!

@jbpe...@gmail.com you are a lifesaver buddy!! I've spent the better part
of a day trying to figure out how to get the ctrl command thanks to you
found the elusive • finally.
@Addydmasi I don't know what the diff is but we don't have the dot at the
end of the row you mentioned.

Being able to program it into a shortcut would indeed be awesome.
Allen.porter .... Any help would be appreciated! :)
