Unfortunately, I need actual text entry, not just display. I agree
that, if *everything* else on a given platform is working correctly,
then the finger size should already be set at the appropriate value,
and everything would work great. However, if there are other
platform-level issues/misconfigurations/evolutions in play, I either
have to wait for someone else to finish their job, do someone else's
job for them, or just have my deliverables look ugly (and most
higher-level managers I've dealt with don't usually like the "It's not
my fault/job!" answer...).
Again, I agree with the concept, but not having any way to work around
it, *forcing* every possible application to fit within a pre-conceived
paradigm of how the platform should work, seems a little
over-restrictive and broken...

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a
definitive record of customers, application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. Business sense. IT sense. Common sense.
