I'm currently trying to work out how to map the search functionality to a key.
I presume some function must be called from keymap.xml
At present I understand I can activate the virtualkeyboard, but anything entered gets lost as it is not being passed to anything.
The confluence skin uses...
To launch the virtualkeyboard and search when browsing the video library, I still don't quite get how it takes whatever is entered and parses it.
There must be a way to replicate the call that is made when clicking search (or hitting enter/return to search), and to assign this to a keystroke from within the keymap.xml
The key "e" is currently not in use, so I've been using that in my keymap.xml as follows
Does anyone know how to achieve this functionality, it would be great to have (I can see from searching that there are many who would like this).
I already know about the JumpSMS addition, which is great for those users who prefer a remote over a keyboard, but I want to to search using my keybaord, and don't want to have to navigate to the search button to do so.
