Feature request - user interface:
The functionality I really miss with this plugin, is the ability to use the arrow keys to navigate in the Search menu. Right now the cursor is stuck at the top menu, waiting for letters to be typed in from the keyboard. Thus - the plugin assumes that you have a mouse and a full sized keyboard connected.
However - my XBMC box is used in the living room. and I do not like to have a mouse and a full sized keyboard laying on the table all the time. Instead I have a little device emulating the keystrokes of Arrow/Enter/Escape keys. This works great for browsing the menues in XBMC, but it is useless with the YouTube plugin when I need to enter search data.
Therefore - please add functionality for the arrow keys to move around in the search interface. This should be an easy fix, and I do not really understand why that functionality have been left out. It will greatly enhance the user interface and the experience with it.
What do you guys think - is there a great efforth in adding this functionality? And what are the possibilities that this would happen?
Best regards
Lemme
