Use VirtualKeyBoard instead of InputBox for text entry in FileCommander

[prl]

From a user request on the forum.

Using VirtualKeyBoard would allow text entry by either character selection on the screen or SMS entry, a than just the SMS entry allowed in InputBox.

InputBoxWide is used to re-skin InputBox for longer lines for editing lines from text files. It would be possible to create a re-skinned VirtualKeyBoardWide to achieve the same thing.

I’m not sure about replacing the InputBox, as that might be more appropriate if you only want to view a long line. I’d be more inclined to have TEXT bring up the keyboard, like it does with config.

The suggestion follows what Create directory and Rename already do in MovieSelection. If IanSav’s VirtualKeyBoard is accepted, then it has a wider text entry field than the current VirtualKeyBoard (700px vs 536px), and wider than InputBox (600px).

But for exiting text file lines in FileCommander, I’ve proposed a reskinning of VirtualKeyBoard to make its text field wider, in the same way that it’s done with InputBoxWide in FileCommander.

Not that I think that much text editing gets done in FileCommander anyway.

I think that using TEXT to pop up VirtualKeyBoard from InputBox is an unnecessary complication.
