Can we make the search box on the Stream list screen update the streams as you type?

The events keyPressEvent, keyReleaseEvent on the main widget, or the textEdited signal on the LineEdit itself only fire after the device's softkeyboard returns. So I don't think that there is a way to do this from C++. There might be a way to do it from Android's native Java, but I'd put that off until a later version.

This seems to be keyboard dependent. The Hacker's Keyboard in landscape orientation gives a live update on each key stroke. If we provided our own keyboard implementation we might be able to get live updates.
