Thank you, Livin.

That´s right, the same with the Settings section. The reason for that is, that the keyboard keymapping wasn´t correct and incomplete. But with the keymap.xml which i posted a few posting before it work.

I tried and put it in the userdata folder. But it doesn't work. EventGhost doesn't talk to XBMC through keymap.xml, it talks through EventServer which, AFAIK, is less configurable, at least currently.
But that's why I was asking jmarshall, maybe I'm missing something.

Oh, OK. It seems to be that the EventServer don´t use the keymap.xml, therefore it not work. But the normal keyboard-emulation should work for eventghost.

...except for the fact that you can not navigate the onscreen keyboard using the keyboard controls.

Put this in advancedsettings.xml:

Code:

<navigatevirtualkeyboard>true</navigatevirtualkeyboard>

Edit: I've updated the wiki on this.

Lol... I don't know. Discovered it on the forums and when I saw you mention it remembered it wasn't in the wiki yet.

for me the best solution is to map (via eventgosth) the same key to "Parentdir" and "close" ( the windows that parentdir cant close, you cant use it. so close enter in action ) and i removed the "backskip" funcion!

Can you explain that again? I'm a little confused as to what you said.

He maps a single remote key to both commands (Close and ParentDir). It appears to work correctly on everything save Weather, where it does nothing.
