In the Esytime key table, LeftJoystickLeft is go up to previous command prompt, 
but LeftJoystickUp is go to the top left of the screen.

Thanks. I'll add these comments to the key table so we won't forget them, and 
we can work on better bindings.

Thanks. We can add sensible bindings for them, too.

So that must mean that the Esytime is presenting a USB HID keyboard. That means 
that there's nothing we can do about those missing characters as they simply 
aren't defined within the device.

From what I remember, the characters that you told me don't work involve dots 7 
and/or 8. Maybe they just didn't define any characters that use those dots. 
Perhaps you should report this to them so they might consider adding those 
characters to their next firmware release.

>(I try to be as clear as possible, but it is quite hard...)

You've been very clear, actually.
