Full Version: Virtual keyboard question

Hi,

I have a slightly weird setup. I'm using an IR keyboard receiver with a JP1 remote. I've managed to get the remote working, but not the arrow keys on the keyboard. As a result, my arrow keys are mapped to characters: up is mapped to "w", down mapped to "n" and etc.

This works with xbmc fine, except when I try to add sources. When I do this and enter into a text field, I can't get out (since when I press the arrow keys, it prints out "w","n", in the text field). I have tried enabling the virtual keyboard navigation in advancedsettings.xml and it still doesn't work.

Is there a way I can disable keyboard input into the text fields, and ONLY use the virtual keyboard?

thx
andrew
afaik no

But if you choose the mapping of the remote to 'w' couldn´t you choose it to be keyboard up directly? (Can´t recall the keycode but SDL would have the answer)
