I just pushed an update which should give you all remote buttons onscreen. I also made the extra Hijack button display configurable in Settings (checkbox show/hide). It should show up within the next few hours

As for feature request #2, how do you envision showing the soft keyboard?
I was thinking that I could just show it when the Search button is pressed on the remote, but that doesn't really work well if you want to move through PIN>Year>title, etc. We used to be able to show the softkeys by holding down the Menu button on the phone, but it doesn't work anymore after 4.0 it seems...

I might play with a minimal pull-out tab containing softkeys that could be dragged onscreen when needed and off when not. I'll look into it next week.

Ideas?

Cheers
