Yes, it is already KEY_ENTER from the . As far as I can tell, Return is a
QT code. So... I still don't know why it's not working. Snippet from
mythtv/libs/libmythui/mythuitextedit.cpp, around line 536:

        else if (action == "SELECT" && keynum != Qt::Key_Space
                 && GetMythDB()->GetNumSetting("UseVirtualKeyboard", 1) ==
1)
        {
            MythScreenStack *popupStack =
GetMythMainWindow()->GetStack("popup stack");
            MythUIVirtualKeyboard *kb =  new
MythUIVirtualKeyboard(popupStack, this);

            if (kb->Create())
            {
                //connect(kb, SIGNAL(keyPress(QString)),
SLOT(keyPress(QString)));
                popupStack->AddScreen(kb);
            }
            else
                delete kb;

As far as I can tell it looks like it should work, but for some reason it
isn't... Is there a chance it's being shown but not on the screen? I have
only one screen connected, on VGA, but I have used the HDMI connection
previously (but I don't think X saves state like that between runs).
