is the sendkeys a Windows sendkeys or an XBMC sendkeys? I think you mentioned your variant would require windows only, I guess I was hoping could encapsulate it all in the API call, as I still haven't committed to running a unified windows box as of yet with both VC and XBMC running on the same node.

I will try to add an new action in the next version of VC

XBMC.SendText

this will allow sending text to XBMC dialogs. 

Currently you can do it, but only one key at a time using XBMC.Send   Sendkey(0xF1**) where ** is the ascii code of the letter.  Not very useful for sending text.

Even on the local machines this will work better than keyboard emulation because you won't have to rely on the VC.Pause command as much.
