Sorry, bad day for emailing. I am resending the mail with mailing list address included.

Actually I tried setInputMethodHints(Qt::ImhDigitsOnly). The problem with this hint is that when I enter the field for editing, my (hardware) keyboard will always be in text mode and the field does not accept any alpha-characters. I need to lock the Fn key manually to be able to enter the numbers.

I want to make it more user-friendly and enable the number mode automatically when the cursor/focus is in this field. This way user doesn't have double-press/lock the Fn key before entering numbers in this field. How can I do it in Maemo/N900?
