 Indeed which is why my kodi installations (Android based TV boxes)
have mini keyboards which combine the functionality of TV remote and
keyboard/mouse (you wouldn't want to type a lot on it but it's way better
than navigating an on-screen keyboard with arrow keys). They're very cheap
and come with USB dongles that present as HID devices over USB.
