[Oberon] Have MenuInputTablets confirmed ETHO's TUI?

[Srinivas Nayak]

I see in Oberon, backspace key works, but not delete key.
Right, Left arrow keys work, but not Up, Down arrow keys.
Home, End, PageUp, PageDown doesn't work.
Is this intentionally done to reduce keyboard use?


With thanks and best regards,

Yours sincerely,
Srinivas Nayak
