Hope it helps.
thx. better to have it in an overlay than having includes in all windows.
Thanks Hitcher, this is fantastic and means I no longer have to keep switching back and fourth between foundation!
life saver, I give you the highest of fives!
you are the man, thx this is very handy, im using foundation already to build my skin and is very solid.
Thanks Hitcher but where do you create /userdata/keymaps folder?
I created this here "skin.myskin/userdata/keymaps" and copied your keymap.xml in to it but it did not work ,
then I just added two lines from your keymap.xml to
xbmc-11.0/system/keymaps/keyboard.xml
and it worked but I want some keys to work in my skin only so where may I define those key actions?
Thanks again for Help.
you put it in your normal userdata folder. %appdata%/xbmc/userdata on windows, ~/.xbmc/userdata on linux, /Application Data/XBMC/userdata or thereabout on osx.
That means we can not define some keys which will work only with our skin....?
Thanks.
Hope you guys (black and Jezz) did't mind me using your skins to illustrate how it works.
Great! That will help me for sure

lol of course not
Is there a updated version of this aid that works with the PVR screens? I get nothing when one of those screens are open, like MyPVR.xml screen, or am i doing something wrong?
