Since ConnectBot doesn't use any of the normal TextView -widgets, Android's IME structure isn't designed to directly -support it.
-The best way to use Android with a virtual keyboard is in Portrait -mode. By default, ConnectBot is set to use Portrait -mode when no hardware keyboard is present. To change this setting, go to -Preferences from the Host List.
-In Landscape mode, the Android virtual keyboard -(or other IMEs) will take up the entire screen. Android provides no way -for ConnectBot to resize the terminal view in Landscape. -However, you may use a work-around: Force Resize -to fit above the virtual keyboard if desired.
-On devices without a hardware keyboard, you may press and hold -the MENU button to bring up the virtual keyboard. NOTE: -This applies to any program on the Android platform; it is not -ConnectBot specific.
-You can enter any key combination with ConnectBot and the virtual -keyboard, but you must know how keys are mapped on a normal console. For -instance, usually combinations of ALT+letter on a PC keyboard are -actually mapped to sending, sequentially, ESC key then the letter.
-Note there are also screen gestures: see the ScreenGestures help topic. -for Page Up and Page Down.
