Thanks for that, really usable shell.

The keyboard lacks only small feature, I tried to run 

$ mdbus -s org.freesmartphone.otimed

and made a typo, and I see right and left cursors (preferable on < >
keys in FN mode) are a must.  I can do well with C-p and C-n to browse
shell history (as you hit them once or twice), but multiple C-b or C-f
to move inside the line to edit it is a pain and unusable.
