No network on this Freerunner at the moment, so I can't paste the  
file verbatim, but looking at /etc/multitap-pad/im-multipress.conf it  
appears that both back- and forward-slashes are mapped to KP_0 on the  
default factory image.

This clearly relates to the 0 key, as + is also mapped to this key  
and indeed pressing the 0 key in character mode does indeed produce a  
+ sign. However multiple taps to the 0 key do not produce the other  
characters I'd expect.

Is this a known bug?
Are you using a later firmware image?

I'll update when I have network on my Freerunner, but at present it  
seems that I have some hours to play around with it before I can  
connect.
