My touch screen is bad (for now), is there a way to launch menus and/or apps using the keyboard?

Of course!
You could type CTRL+SHIFT+X to open X-Term. Now you can type the name of a program to launch it

That's not working for me. Does that actually work for you?

Works fine for me. The problem is knowing what the application is called. For example, to run the notes app, just type "osso_notes".

Ctrl + Shift + X was introduced in Maemo 5's hildon-desktop. Pokey, you haven't said what device you're using.

You need to edit the python program to add or edit shortcuts, but it should not be too hard.

I realise the instructions are not simple, but can you tell me what did not work?
