When entering a text field, first box gets shown. ▲ changes between the left and the right layout. Space is [___________]. To confirm, the user has navigate to ► and press RIGHT. To return and not save, the user has to switch to the 2nd screen, navigate to ◄ and press RIGHT. If LEFT is pressed, one character gets deleted (backspace).

4 Button Interfaces will have UP and DOWN. After each line of characters on the keyboard, the selection will cycle through the next line etc.

On more than 4 Button interfaces it will work just like a normal DPAD (Overlay will have left/right/up/down functions to move the cursor, implementing device will need to map buttons accordingly and maybe set a 4-button-only flag.
