SMS text input
If you have a remote control that is viewed as a keyboard to XBMC and want to enable SMS/T9-like text input, do two things:
- Settings/System/Input devices -> enable "Remote control sends keyboard presses"
- make a keyboard.xml keymap file with this (save it in userdata/keymaps/):
<keymap> <VirtualKeyboard> <keyboard> <zero>Number0</zero> <one>Number1</one> <two>Number2</two> <three>Number3</three> <four>Number4</four> <five>Number5</five> <six>Number6</six> <seven>Number7</seven> <eight>Number8</eight> <nine>Number9</nine> <backspace>Backspace</backspace> </keyboard> </VirtualKeyboard> </keymap>
