Default [Q] Keyboard Dock meta keys via ssh+GNUScreen/Vim?

Hello. So looking at potential use cases for this tablet; I do most of my work in a terminal in a screen session; with vim or similar. Looking at screen shots of the keyboard; I see Ctrl/Alt keys; Can I expect those to work in ConnectBot or similar?

ctrl-a-c, ctrl-r,ctrl-p, alt-. for bash/vim/etc shortcuts being the idea. Any thoughts?

If not; I'll probably end up tethering in bestbuy and remoting into one of my servers to test...

Default Interested, too...

I'm also interested in whether Ctrl or Meta / Alt works in any terminal applications on the Transformer. Anyone care to share their experience?

Thanks!

Just now trying connectbot.
It appears that ctrl isn't working for me.
Tab isn't working as a tab, but the right shift works as both a shift and tab.
Alt operates as '/'
When I get a chance, I'll spend a little time investigating more

In Better Terminal Emulator Pro, the Ctrl key works extremely well.

I'm also kind of able to remap the Back key and Search keys to ESC by ^[ and ^[1, but it doesn't quite work out the way I want it to. At least I can access VI by hitting ^[1 (Back key).
