Feature request: Add 'backspace' key to "SMS characters" in edit control
#1
I think it's great that I can use the number keys on my remote control in an input field to type "SMS characters".
Unfortunately, I could not find a backspace key. Could you provide that? I often make mistakes when using the "SMS characters".
PS I currently use the "PRE-CH" key (-> back to the previous channel) on my Samsung remote via keymap, but I would prefer the backspace key to be integrated, i.e. while the focus is in an input field, a specific key is recognized as backspace.

Your advice doesn't help me.
I examined the file https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master...ontrol.cpp: "smsLetters" are hardcoded and they are used when a key press is recognized that is between "REMOTE_0" and "REMOTE_9". I think that's great! Additionally, I'd like it to have a hardcoded backspace key - because I think that everybody using the edit control with his oder her remote needs the backspace key and it would be quite a hassle if everyone had to set it up.
