This is an optimization request of the current behavior for the Mobile Mouse iPad app.
I really like the additional keys popup above the standard keyboard. This greatly improves on the limited key set in the popup keyboard. There is obviously no one perfect set of keys to place there, since each user will have different needs.
For me, if the standard 0-9 number keys were available in this popup, it would meet 90% of my typing needs, and I wouldn't need to change keyboard modes, which slows down input.
My server side is a Mac Mini HTPC (connected to an HD projector). On Macs, usage of the F1-F12 function keys seems to be less common than on Windows apps. A settings option to change F1-F10 to standard numbers would be a good solution.
Another option would be to add more Hot Keys, which can be re-mapped to the user's preference. I mapped Hot Keys to 1 through 4, but obviously that doesn't fully solve the requirement.
