Yeah, thanks for your reply. I didn't see that. I'll definetly *try* to give it a try if this is fixable via a hard factory reset (because of soldered storage, of course!). From what I've seen, it seems to be. Doesn't it?
From my side, I already (kind of) solved my problem by launching an older 2015 version of Etherpad (LAN real-time text editor) on a Windows 7 machine, and opened it on the web browser of my Kobo, then started writing from my computer and looking for the characters on my Kobo. It works! Just... a bit too slow. And I can't display the blinking cursor. Maybe I'll try looking for a slightly newer version, but not with the new design, which the Kobo doesn't seem to be capable of handling.
I tried tmux and screen from vlasovsoft's terminal, but it was displaying strange character combinations and all the letters I typed were displayed, one by one, on a vertical line.
I'll maybe give a try to inkvt tomorrow if you can confirm me that it's hard-factory-reset-fixable.

Thanks again for your input!

EDIT: I use telnet for simple purposes of not having to install SSH on it and I telnet on my Arch Linux computer. Will it work with that (I suppose)?
