Remapping N900 hardware keyboard: http://wiki.maemo.org/Remapping_keyboard

Furthermore for xterm-specific usage you can change your xterm
on-screen keys or your hardware keyboard mappings to include more
useful keys like those. For example in my Xterm I have:
Ctrl Esc { } < > | %

And I have remapped my hardware keyboard so that Fn-Up is PgUp,
Fn-Down is PgDown, Fn-Left is Home, Fn-Right is End. For tab in xterm
I simply press control-i.

Customize xterm key bar:

Good luck :)

That seams helpful, although if I may, I code a lot in my N900, mostly in Go
and Java.

I got used to the default way of inputing keys. Although I speak from
experience when I said, if Paul says it, better yet, if it say he's got
it... I would just do it blind folded.

I press CTRL + Function Key and Plus (+) and nothing happens. Just pressing
the CTRL and FUNCTION key also does not produce a |

Actually the key is the Sym key, which is pressed in the reverse
sequence: Function Ctrl, at least on my US N900 keyboard. That will
make a pop-up menu containing various symbols and punctuation marks
that are not on the hardware keyboard.
