This is an early code review of the idea I have for adding hotkeys to the Web Interface Remote Control. I have only done the most basic buttons so far. Now I'm checking in with the community to see what the feelings are.

I intend to make return/enter also work as the "Ok" button. What suggestions do you have for the other buttons? Do you think the idea is acceptable? Do you think the code design (hotkeys.js added to xbmc.launcher.js) is acceptable?
Notice that this is my first post. Keep that in mind when you flame me. ;-)
BTW, this quick and dirty solution is what I whipped up because it was so frustrating to use my trackpad on the web interface to enter my wifi password. I'm that kind of nerd. I'd rather patch the software than have to turn my neck back and forth between TV and laptop screen to enter 12 characters. (Actually, I had trouble getting on the wifi and it was after a few tries that I decided to fix something I could control.)
