Is there any way to type Alphabet instate of only digit using remote? Example I want search in youtube "hello" using normal keypad if I press 2 times 4 it should right "h" but it's type "44".

I know I can use virtual keypad. But that is too hard. So don't suggest this thing.

To be honest I would invest in a remote with a proper keypad/air mouse like the Droidbox vip remote. Far outweighs the frustration of using the remote usually supplied as default.

You're looking for something like T9 input using the number pad on the infrared, not seen an app for that. The only ones I found were to put T9 style keyboards on the screen, rather than interpreting 7 being press 3 times quickly to be the letter R.
You might find the company that sold you the Nexbox (not us, DroidBOX) might have suggestions though.
If you decide to get a controller with a keyboard, something like the VIP works well - https://droidbox.co.uk/droidbox-tm-vipremote.html or if you prefer one with a touchpad, the i8 or i9 - https://droidbox.co.uk/accessories.html
