Was able to find a bit of free time Friday and this evening so decided to continue work on the virtual keyboard. A beta of the keyboard can be had from here. If you download, install into your MP folder and start MP, you should find a new plugin called My Example. Clicking the 'Click me...' button presents the keyboard.

Currently supports:

SMS style entry.
Use of rewind and fast forward buttons to move around the text, in addition to the onscreen cursors.
Pressing '#' toggles the shift button.

Todo:

Enable the predictive text (works really well but needs work before it can be considered a beta).
Create alternative layouts for Qwerty entry and SMS.
Source enough usable (i.e. friendly format, open source etc) dictionaries to cover MP's currently supported languages.
Add another button (or more than one) that would allow plugins the option of displaying addition things, such as Agree's mods for the search keyboard.

This is a beta release, it doesn't replace the existing instances of the virtual keyboard and is bound to contain some bugs. That said, I'd appreciate a few downloads and some feedback on how it works for y'all. It also needs further graphics that either myself or Samsonite (about time he did some work around here ) will provide.

This is what it currently looks like:
