On-screen keybaord improvement

Doodles · 2007-06-02, 10:46

Hi guys!

I have a suggestion for a samll but significant improvement. Using the on-screen keyboard with a remote is usable but rather tedious. It'd be really nice if it could work like texting on a mobile phone.

It's just a thought.

Many thanks.

I agree with you, but its been requested a few times already. I know one of the developers started working on it, but for some reason it's not really been a high priority. Perhaps if we can get a few more users to request it someone will start looking at it again.....

Cheers

go to my TV -> scheduled->new->search by title and you will find it has been implemented (just not everywhere). I think it would be a useful method of text input, this example doesn't work properly but seems like it would be OK. I think you should be able to use the keyboard to type in these boxes too (if you happen to have a keyboard) but you currently can't (the keys will do standard MP type things like changing screens)
