I appreicate not everyone can afford the latest and greatest gadgets to control their XBMC but from what I remember even the XBMC devs have stated that it is not really an interface built for mouse control. Surely you are just making an easily accomplished task (by remote or keyboard) something tedious and time consuming by trying to use a mouse.
Then again, an implementation for lets say Apple's Magic Pad with gesture support is a different matter.
I know what you mean but: 1) remotes generally don't have keyboard facility and 2) keyboards are generally big compared to a mouse or a programmable game controller or remote.3) millions of gamers already use this method with x360 and ps3 text input.
All I'm saying, it's not necessarily a step backwards if your still keeping the moving forwards bits too :-) I'm not requesting but if marcos wants to do it that's fine if not, fine also! I just want the idea out there and if people think it's worth adding and cam be programmer in then fine!
