I have the opposite in that I use my phone to access my office desktop but I suffer from the same problem: on my phone there is no (easy?) way to send, for instance, M-S- (=org-shiftmetadown=) which I need to insert a new row in a table. Not the easiest command to type directly unfortunately. One of the options to access commands that are bound to keys you cannot use easily is to invoke the emacs menu. You can access the menu even in screen mode through M-` (tmm-menubar). So, for instance, to insert a row in the table, you can type "ESC ` T r i". Although I don't actually have the menu bar shown ever, org has an excellent menu structure which seems to provide access to all the important commands! Mind you, on my phone, accessing backtick is non-trivial, but that's another story. ;-) -- : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 24.0.50.1 : using Org-mode version 7.5 (release_7.5.113.g9010a.dirty)
