Term doesn't capture some keys #7

Hi,
When I can't connect to my server directly through SSH, I use SSH via Term in my Cozy (very useful). However, a few programs I'm using require the use of the "alt" key. For instance, with weechat, I switch between IRC channels via alt+1, alt+2, etc; when I try this in Term's prompt I only get symbols like ☻ or ♥, which prevents me from using this kind of softwares.

Adding to this the backslash ("") and pipe ("|") keys. Maybe more of them, but I haven't tried every one yet.

Well, I think that's another issue as the key required for copy/paste are captured by the application (you can do Ctrl+* commands, and type "C" or "V"). My problem is that, whenever I type "" of "|" in my terminal, no character appears.

Yes you can Ctrl+c for example to stop/cancel processes, but Ctrl+v is not handled as paste.

On my side when I type "" it goes backward and delete my last character.

When I type "|" nothing happens like "@" , alternatively you can use the ascii code but it's not very intuitive.

"|" is Alt+124

An other problem related to "bad keyboard management" is that I have my android keyboard reset to CAPS after each key pressed (using Hacker's Keyboard at least)

I copy & paste some characters, like # or |, but I is not really convenient.

Is some found a solution?

It's too bad that this bug persist, because this module is really, really, really usefull! (to bypass Firewall or network limitations).
