How can I disable the fullscreen hotkey? - NPerez - 2009-02-23

When I start up XBMC it works fine, for the most part.. but whenever I press the '\' button that's supposed to switch between fullscreen and windowed mode, the whole system hangs and I have to reboot.

I really don't want to troubleshoot this right now. I just want to disable the hotkey so that I can stop accidentally pressing it (since the button's right below backspace, it's honestly happened at least 5 times today and I'm just about ready to bash my head against the wall). I'll look into fixing the problem some other time.

I'm hoping that this is a simple config-file edit. Anyone know?

Thanks.

edit: figured it out, mods may lock/delete, sorry for the wasted space

Edit C:\Program Files\XBMX\system\keymaps\keyboard.xml and comment out the line:

<backslash>ToggleFullScreen</backslash>

i.e.
