Comment (by Paul mythtv at dsl.pipex.com):

 I've modified this patch to work with the MythRemoteLineEdit and
 the UIRemoteEditType as well as the normal QLineEdit. Also converts
 many tabs to spaces.

 I like this a lot. It doesn't stop you from using a normal keyboard if you
 want but also allow you to enter small amounts of text using a remote
 with only the up, down, left, right and select keys. It also works OK if
 you have a remote like the Sky Navigator with a built in keyboard. I think
 it is a very user friendly way of entering text and also caters for
 languages
 other than English.

 If the only bar from getting this patch applied is the fact it uses QT
 widgets
 I will spend some time converting it to use the native uitypes.
 Is anyone working on this already?

 Paul
