Hi everybody, I've noticed that some applications are locking keyboard input only to a subset of characters which greatly simplifies input esp. if you have numeric fields. Default action in Hildon input is to capitalize first letter which also means - no numeric pad so I'd like to change that somehow for certain fields. I've gone through all stuff relative to python:gtk.Entry and found pretty much nothing on it. I suppose there are some hildon helpers for that, but http://maemo.org/development/documentation/apis/3-x/python-maemo-3.x/ doesn't seem to mention them. What am I missing? (I know I could've started to dig into sources of those programs that do limit input to a character subset, however I don't remember now which ones did that and that might be C/C++ app which may or may not affect applicability for python).
