Keyboard Shortcut to Favorites
#1
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.

I did see that but I don't know what key it maps to.

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:

Delete the <red>info</red> part.
I copied my remote.xml settings and forgot to delete this... :S

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.
