I previously had a Samsung TV hooked up to my Raspberry Pi XBMC which had an alphanumeric remote control keypad (like oldschool mobile phones - the number 2 had letters "a b c" etc.) This was really useful to be able to skip to the starting letter of a movie or TV show in my library.
However, on my new Sony TV, it has a normal numeric keypad and I can no longer jump to the letter I want. I have been looking at creating a custom keymap but I can't see how I can assign a single key to be able to scroll through each of its options (i.e. the number 2 needs to do 2, a, b and c, then back to the number 2 if it's pressed a fifth time).
I can create a custom key map which will jump to the next letter, but I cant see how to write it so that it will only scroll through each of its options.
Can anyone point me in the right direction on this?
