HTC Vision hard keyboard ALT keys do not select alternative keys about terminal-ide

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Yeah, I'm having the same problem on a droid 2. It would be nice to add an 
option for the alt key as the escape and control keys, ie, mapping it to vol 
up, camera, etc, since the standard alt key is needed for numbers and symbols

just find a way to temporary overcome this issue:
1. run telnetd in the terminal ide;
2. use connectbot login into localhost:8080;
3. your hard keyboard just acts well...

My Droid 3 has the same issue. As for the method in comment 8, I tried it and 
the ALT key still didn't do anything (correctly, that is).

Same here on a Jellybean Desire Z. No alt keys makes vim pretty useless since 
we don't have a hardware keyboard to use the soft one.
Please, please fix this

leoz:
The patch file just represents the modified code from the original source. The 
modified files are EmulatorView.java and TermSettings.java. The '+' and '-' 
characters represent added/removed lines. You can apply it with the patch 
command, or by hand.

To install you need to download the terminal ide source apply the patch and 
recompile an apk and copy it to your phone.

Use the Android development kit
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/bundle.html to recompile the source 
into an 'apk' which can be installed on your phone.
