Using a keyboard in Theater View - how to type numbers?
« on: January 19, 2014, 04:45:11 pm »

Hi All,

Asked about this a few days back but didn't get a definitive answer, so trying to simplify my question.

When using a keyboard in Theater View to search, the number keys are all set up to toggle through letters instead of the standard numbers.  So for example, if you hit the number '2', it will display 'a', hit it again, it will display 'b', then 'c' and back to 'a', etc.

I have not been able to find a way to simply enter a number via the keyboard.  Can anyone verify if there is any way to disable this 'feature'?

If not, could I make a request to have the ability to turn this feature off in a future upgrade?

It would be helpful for those of us that have a mini keyboard and prefer to use that instead of scrolling though letter and number menus to do a search.

Thanks much for any help.
Brian

This seems like a bug.

I can confirm that the numbers do not work whether using the 10 key or top row even when the numbers are visible on screen.

Thanks for the reply, Jim.

I'm quite new to the forum, so I'm just wondering if there is someplace else I should report this potential bug, or is this post enough to have it looked into?

Thanks,
Brian

JimH is the head-cheese.  He's posted a bug in the beta thread, so you're good.

I don't see a relevant change in the Release Notes.
