typing mode

In some instances, you may need to type something into a Roku screen (when searching or logging into a service, for example). This can be incredibly cumbersome using the standard navigation.

To enter typing mode, press /, and you will see a cursor appear below the remote. At this point, all alphanumeric keys (and backspace) will be interpreted literally and sent to the Roku.

To exit typing mode, press ENTER or ESC.

NOTE: this doesn't work with all text interfaces.
