To use, hit OK/Select (enter) while a line edit is focused. Can be turned on/off in Utilities/Setup?->Setup->Appearance->QT. (Off preserves the old behavior.) Supports French, German, Greek, Italian, Spanish, and English (US or UK, depending on env. "LANG" variable) keyboard layouts, as well as the Compose key. More layouts are forthcoming (for the time being, my system doesn't display Katakana and Hiragana unicode properly). Should be ported to use the new upcoming mythui as time permits.

This replaces the previous patch - it adds palette and font support, which I had forgotten to do before.

Oops - my apologies. - previous patches don't capture key_space - this fixes that. Please disregard previous 2 patches.

Sorry for all the messages - this should be it. To work right, virtual keyboard currently requires that you have UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, SELECT, PLAY, and EXIT mapped to the following keys respectively: cursor-up, cursor-down, cursor-left, cursor-right, enter, space, and escape.

Changes keyPressEvent to use translated keypresses instead of checking for keys themselves. This is the proper way. Please disregard earlier patches for the virtual keyboard.

Fix mouse handling when popup is active - use this instead of previous vk patches.

Duplicate of #27 - uses Qt for drawing, which can't be used going forward.

Fixes some weirdness discovered if you use the keyboard while using the virtual keyboard. Can ignore all previous diffs.

Updates the last version to also work with MythRemoteLineEdit? and UIRemoteEditType
comment:4 Changed 18 years ago by
I've modified this patch to work with the MythRemoteLineEdit? and the UIRemoteEditType as well as the normal QLineEdit. Also converts many tabs to spaces.
I like this a lot. It doesn't stop you from using a normal keyboard if you want but also allow you to enter small amounts of text using a remote with only the up, down, left, right and select keys. It also works OK if you have a remote like the Sky Navigator with a built in keyboard. I think it is a very user friendly way of entering text and also caters for languages other than English.
If the only bar from getting this patch applied is the fact it uses QT widgets I will spend some time converting it to use the native uitypes. Is anyone working on this already?
