Right click the desktop shortcut you have, select properties and you will see a field that says "Shortcut Key" on the "Shortcut" tab. Click in that field and press a key on your wireless keyboard - any key you don't use for anything else. For arguments sake, if you want to launch using F5, click the "Shortcut Key" box and press F5 and the field should change to, you guessed it, F5. Now click OK and press F5 on your keypad and, hey presto, XBMC launches but if its already launched, it should bring it to the front. That's it! Simple, hey?

Let me know how you get on. I hope to have a version of XBMCGreenButton for testing this weekend which I'll need people to just check to make sure all the key settings I've put in are correct; it won't be functional yet but I need to make sure the mappings are correct as it changes an entry in the registry.

EDIT: Just looked at the keypad you have a bit closer and F5 wasn't a good example (as it doesn't have Function keys). Use the tilde button, the one that looks like a wavy line to the right of Esc (~).

Ok I see what you mean now thanks
Yes it works nicely.

Thanks for that! I could have sworn that that option wasn't there the last 3 or 4 times I looked! Do you have to post a certain number of times before it comes visible?

Not sure about that - I couldn't say

I have put this project "on hold" as I'm currently working on something else (XBMC Touch), but I will get back to it at some point...
