Hello,

I was wondering if there was any possible way to remap the Kindle keyboard to make it send a CTRL key keycode over its web browser when the 'alt' key is pressed.

The reason I ask is that I've just recently installed shellinabox on my linux webserver, and have been lightly enjoying my Kindle's new psuedo-SSH powers (it's like Ajaxterm). However, a huge set back for me is the lack of a CTRL key on the Kindle. I use a screen/dvtm combination of CLI program management, and the CTRL key is an absolute necessity to use these programs.

So, is there a way to switch that rarely-used Alt key on the Kindle to emulate a CTRL key press? Or, some other alternative way to get that CTRL key?
