I'm not sure about this, certainly Ctrl + l doesn't do this on my PC under Ubuntu.
Do you have to enable something for this to work?
(in some contexts, ctrl-v has the meaning: take the next character literally.)
If you're in a different application, like wanting to press tab to cycle around input fields in a webpage, I think you'd be out of luck altogether with ctrl-i because input wouldn't go through the same keymapping process - e.g. in this edit box, I can use ctrl-i to put text in italics and ctrl-v is just paste.
No idea whether ctrl-v ctrl-i works in maemo's / N900's shell (maybe it would paste?) but it works here in centos's konsole.

Wow, you really learn something every day with GNU/Linux, don't you.
In Ubuntu Ctrl-i works as tab on its own, in a terminal and console.
Have to explore this further.
Hmmm, even works in Emacs. Very surprising... :O)
Now to find out, where this is actually set?

In Kubuntu Konsole, Ctrl-v Ctrl-i inputs a tab. This is news to me, too.
I'm still a bit unsure how the Fn+Symbol+key works. It says it "Enters special characters" in the N900 manual, but there is no third symbol on the keycaps and no guide in the manual to what "special characters" correspond with each key. Is this on a separate language-specific addendum somewhere?

It begins on page 22 of the manual. Thanks.
There really is NO tab key or key combination. I thought this was a linux computer. Pfft. :P
Otherwise the setup seems pretty good.

This part is a bit more complicated, since it comes with my modification of the Chr from a key that is used by the keyboard software to open a window with special keys, to a simple modifier like fn, shift, etc.
If you copy this file
http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/770/rx-44-he
to you directory /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/ and run the command
setxkbmap -symbols nokia_vndr/rx-44-he he1
then Chr-, will function as Tab key (for example for moving between fields in a dialog window).

All it takes is a few tweaks to the file
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/rx-44 .
On the N900 it will be more problematic, as there are less keys.
