Kodi can do this with the number buttons on a TV remote.
note that it can do it but whether it actually does or not depends on your individual install and if the CEC demons are cooperative.

Wait, there are still t9 remotes that work with modern TVs?
Come on, the good old times are over. I could use it immediately, the muscle memory still holds all the characters without thinking.
We now have to put in passwords with the arrow/ok buttons. On a sadistically designed keyboard that is ordered alphabetically instead of the classic QWERT… layout everybody is used to. What a time to be alive
Yes I’m looking at you Amazon!
T9 shouldn’t be able to help you type passwords! It’s predictive.
I think OP means that you can e.g. press the 1 button two times to type a B.
A remote that could do this would be awesome. Using arrow keys to go through the letters is Odin
Yeah in my country where most people doesn’t speak English on the daily disabled the prediction and just typed like that on T9 dialpads. Can even text in class easily with a hand under the table
I’ve got this setup on my car stereo (android based): Cheap numpad from alibaba with mechanical keys (around 10 Euros) T9 keyboard app from fdroid. Types in addresses into comaps way faster and safer than the screen keyboard and can navigate my mp3 folders easily to play music.
You mean press 2 twice to get b?

Yes, it’s been a while obvs :D
Joke’s on them, I’m not stupid enough to connect my TV to wifi
But then how is it suppossed to see your jellyfin setup? Just block the TVs mac address in your browser.
A trusted streaming box without ads. It will stream far better and not monitor you.
Ever heard of an HDMI cable? just use the TV as a monitor
The TV will only use of for ads and enshittification updated.
Wait, there are T9 remotes??
A long long time ago, cable tv remotes had over 50 buttons.
I haven’t had a TV in like 15 years, what do they look like nowadays?
A lot less buttons; this here is a generic smart TV remote. A lot of streaming boxes have the bare minimum.
It’d be disingenuous to say all remotes are like that, here’s a newer looking one with many buttons. A major “feature” of most new remotes are dedicated buttons to various streaming services, Netflix, Disney, Prime, etc.
And here’s a pile of old remotes I found while looking for the first two pictures.
I think it’s a joke but this would be a real game changer if so
Lol they actually do make “universal” remotes with oodles of buttons that work with all the standard streaming boxes
I picked up a used Sony TV (Android TV) and the standard remote is what you’d expect, but it didn’t come with it so I decided to see if there was one with buttons I could buy instead when I was looking for it’s replacement
Imagine my surprise when there was lmao
I also saw some for Rokus and firetvs
regretfully it seems that some millenials have entered their cursive age
