Keyboard Shortcut to Favorites - kevn57 - 2013-01-05 I'm a XBMC newbie using Frodo RC2 and Confluence along with Joy2Key with a PS2 gamepad as a remote control. What I'm looking for is a keyboard shortcut that will open up favorites without having to scroll down to the star button. Thanks for any help, I looked in the wiki pages under shortcut but couldn't find a shortcut to favorites.

RE: Keyboard Shortcut to Favorites - miappa - 2013-01-05 I am not entirely sure, but I don´t think that favourites is mapped as standard. If so, you need to create a keyboard.xml and map a key to XBMC.ActivateWindow(Favourites). Not familiar with Joy2Key, but I presume that you map your buttons to keyboard in this application which means you need to map it again in XBMC. If so, the following should work: <keymap> <global> <keyboard> <keyname>XBMC.ActivateWindow(Favourites)</keyname> <red>info</red> </keyboard> </global> </keymap> This is for global setting though, if you want it only on home screen add <home></home> within global tags. For more information, see: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Keymap http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Modify_keyboard.xml Delete the <red>info</red> part. I copied my remote.xml settings and forgot to delete this... :S RE: Keyboard Shortcut to Favorites - kevn57 - 2013-01-05 Thanks very much miappa, that worked like a charm and I learned enough to be able to remap any more I need. I really appreciate it. RE: Keyboard Shortcut to Favorites - miappa - 2013-01-05 You´re welcome!
