One more terminal emulator for kindle.

Nice work, useful suggestions.

But could you include some of the original features of "echo"?

Is there a way to implement an Alt key?

I'm using finch in optware, but cannot do much because finch requires Alt keys for almost everything.

echo -S

Don't know much about finch, but the only Alt (code 56) detected in myts is for generating digits from the K3 numberless keyboard : myts keyboard. Also, making the problem more difficult, Alt pressure and release is only reported (by the Kindle Hardware) after the next keypress... so I think it is not possible to generate a stand alone Alt-Key and all Alt-Key combinations that you need would need to be preprogrammed.

Ugh...... Maybe I wont end up using finch...

Does anyone know of any other commandline IM clients?

Tried to install myts version 6 & 8 on my Kindle 2.5 with no success. Can someone suggest another term program?

kindleTERM, should work. look deeper in the KindleTERM thread and you will find a second version that works immensely better. I cannot remember if i used it when i had my k2i or not.... man, I sure do miss that / button...

Good morning. In the past, whenever I pressed Home being in myts, kindle went to the main screen. I could return no myts with Shift+t+t or kill Shift+t+a Now (replaced kindle dxg) it doesn't work, the only way to exit myts is typing "exit" Why?
I've to say that the first command I run in myts was "waitforkey" and ended up rebooting the kindle becaus didn't know how to exit, don't know if it has to do with the actual behaviour...
Thank you

Edit: it seems Back key doesn't produce any symbol when pressed at the same time as another key... And waitforkey returns 98 for Home and 91 for Back instead of 102 158, how can I change it in myts? Should I restore to default to make my kindle work properly?

94 = Sym
98 = Home
109 = Left< ; so we can exit!
124 = Left>
91 = Back

;f105 = Left
;f106 = Right
f122 = Up
f123 = Down
f92 = Select

114 = Vol-
115 = Vol+

; DXG doesn't have Left< for exit!
[Settings]
TermEnd = Home

It's important to insert those changes as late as possible in keydefs.ini so they are evaluated last.

That's the way to fix that.

Thank you, I've just found the original post and was going to delete mine... Didn't remember I added this and now, when installing version 8 instead of 6, found that problems...
Thank you again, and really fast reply!!!
