</div></div>In many places where the cell-phone-like text input exists, you can also<br>
hit Enter to get the pop-up keyboard, then can type normally with your<br>
keyboard. (However, there may be some places where this doesn't work.)<br>

</blockquote></div><br>yes, I'm aware of that, but I'd like to be able to type normally, with my keyboard, without looking at a "virtual keyboard" that does nothing in this case but prevent the input window from assuming I have a remote control in my hand. Is there a way to make it so all input windows assume I have a full qwerty keyboard, all the time? <br>
<br>I found another problem last night, when trying to enter my zip code in the mythweather plugin, I was unable to do so, because apparently, "0" (as in zero) cannot be typed (my zip code is 14850, and when I searched for "Ithaca, NY" I got nothing). I saw the same problem in mythvideo, when I tried to label an HD recording I was experimenting with "[file name] - 1080P" and I couldn't input "0" again. I imagine this all has to do with the same problem I mentioned in my original post. Is there a switch someplace that can be set to change the input window behavior? I realize there may not be a golobal setting, since my questions span two different plugins, but if there's any way to improve upon this, I'd be interested. <br>
