navagation is prooving next to imposible on the blackjack . currently only some of the time I am able to move the curs/focus in and out of the web page inorder to navigate . I am not entirely clear how minimo is interpreting right and left smart ky presses on smartphones with a hardware keyboard so i cant say for sure if im just not geting how i am supposed to navigate the program and pages . Also geting simmalar issues from Dpad on my phone . I can say that holding down left soft yey does bring up the program menue every time . but this is the only thing i am geting every time . 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.launch minimo 
2..
3..
Actual Results:  
soft keys seem to be tabing trough UI at random or not going were i expect them to bring me and im not able to navigate properly  

Expected Results:  
soft keys on smartphones with a HW keyboard and soft keys need a set maping and we need to know exactly how these keys are supposed to function 

This happends even able a blackjack firmware update no change .

found way to fix issue , I can eventualy get to prefs and turn the SW keyboard off  this allows normal HW keyboard operation . but the prefs do not survive exiting minimo ..

now it does survive but still has to be set manually

minimo component is now closed and the minimo project isn't going to be supported.  New work has started on a new mobile effort.  Please see schrep's posting for more info.  We hope you will be involved.
