[Qt-qml] Non Standard Input Device With KeyNavigation Element

[Girish Ramakrishnan]

Hi Michael,
There is no QML built-in mechanism for this afaik. We had wanted
something similar when we added remote control support for our
application. We ended up using an event filter for the
QDeclarativeView which translates all raw key events to mapped events.
So, for example, it would see the raw key event '8', consume the
event, create a new event Qt::Key_Up and send it to the view.

Not pretty :-)
