Well, if anyone is following in my footsteps, I think I found a solution.

Instead of remapping the entire kindle3 keyboard, it's much easier to just change the mod keys associated with the screen and dvtm commands.

Thus:

Code:

screen -x -e\,a

Makes it so that when you press , you can then follow it with a screen command. To send a normal comma you type ,a

This is important because, by using

Code:

dvtm -m ,

within a screen window, you can control both screen and dvtm via the Kindle.
As one might guess, in order to control the dvtm, one must type ,a[command]; where [command] is whatever dvtm command you would like to use.

Also, in order to send a normal comma to the dvtm window, simply type a comma twice. Thus I'm pretty sure that ,a,a will get you a normal comma.

Comma is used simply because it is the first thing always selected by the Sym button on the K3.
