I started working on keyboard support in libhildon. The problem is that I work with PR1.2 source of libhildon, so can't use it on the device. Expect something soon after PR1.2 becomes available.

Note that in PR1.2 there will be a search feature in standard list boxes, so if HAM uses such, you will be able to type (for example) "pa" with the keyboard and the list will be limited to only items whose text contains words starting with "pa".

This works only in applications that use hildon widgets, and not implement their own - for example it works in HAM in applications list, but not in the browser when opening a list box on a web page (at least in the PR1.2 level SDK).
