Marcus,
today there's inputs for alpha, numeric and IP addresses, ring lists, =
slider bars, etc.
The alpha numeric are currently geared toward 4 arrow keys, so each up =
arrow press gives you 0,1,2,3 etc.
It would be a very simple addition to do a 9 key telephone style pad if =
you have an lcd w/ a 9 button key pad already. Who makes such a thing, =
btw?

Hi Folks,
first of all a big thanks to the LCDproc development team ! - its a
great piece of software !!!
now for the real fun: i am working on a voip phone with a hd44780
display. i have managed to port LCDproc to use the display - it's
connected via a serial port and to read the keys from the proprietary
hardware ... so far so good ;)
as with an ip-phone someone occasionally wants to enter alphanumerical
text - e.g. username / password. I plan to use the input scheme used
also on mobile phones - i dont know the name for this, but the idea is
to press for example the digit "2" more times to get the letters "A",
"B", "C" - i think you all know what i mean ;)
My thought (and question) now is: is there any ongoing effort in LCDproc
for such an extension, and how and where would it be implemented best
way.
i'm using 0.5.0 version of LCDproc ...=20
thanks a lot for your effort ;)
greets,
mexx.=20
