When they have an option in the system menu... it is wierd... and also a patch...???
Our virtual keyboard does SMS buttons and virtual keyboard at once....
But what is the exact issue here you claim ViX solved?

The only thing you can work around that, is with an ugly hack.
And I personally refuse to introduce ugly hacks, especially when they are required because some manufacturor forgot to switch on their brain before implementing something.

OK, understandable. The wish(dom) of manufacturers prevails over users being able to use PLi.this has been discussed many times, there is no nice solution for this, because vu, in their apparent wisdom, decided to combine an ascii input device with a numerical input device (while these types of devices need specific handling, so they should not be combined).

And users are still the victim of this, while a work-around is possible (as ViX has done; and ViX also supports 17 different boxes so this was not a pleasure either).

So you request an unrequired hack because VU refuses to make good code?"while a work-around is possible"

But as I said: given the fact that they apparently don't do this, or even understand what it's about, it's a pity to see users being the victim of this. Especially knowing that, although not desirable and even far from ideal, it is possible to make box-specific solutions (OK: work-arounds) for this, as ViX shows.
But of course: it's your choice to make the fundamental decision in favour of a 'clean' build (environment) and not in favour of the PLi-users who happen to have an Ultimo and are the victim of this standpoint.
No use in any arguing: you made your point perfectly clear.
