I still never got around that bug of it shifting the wrong characters,
so I dumped it in favor of terminal.app, or rxvt, if I happen to have X
running. Terminal.app has gotten a lot better, but it's really fragile
w.r.t. line noise. However, rxvt has the trouble of totally munging
some character sequences if I type them too quickly. For example,
"grep", -always- comes out "gr-ep", unless I type it slowly. And, yes,
I have verified that I'm not typing the dash.
It seems as though there is little love for ADB in OSX. That's so sad,
since I've yet to meet a USB keyboard that feels as good as a Apple
Extended keyboard.
