Same goes for keyboard directions.

My guide is here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=48667

byronl Wrote:One odd issue in the latest Jonib XBMC:Repeat plugin (and I'm not sure it's a plugin issue).

I've remapped by up/down keys (all in the remote section) to be emulated keystrokes instead of the actual plugin command. This speeds up scrolling in file lists signficantly as discussed earlier.

ie. for up I have
MceRemote.Up
Emulate Keystrok:{Up}
Autorepeat Current macro:0.5

The odd part is that now up/down in the on screen keyboard won't work. Up/down works everywhere else. Not sure now if it worked with the original plugin or not.

I wonder if there is a mapping missing or it's an xbmc issue. I'll ask on the XBMC forum as well.

This doesn't affect me much since I rarely use the keyboard anyway (and I have an IR keyboard). It's just wierd.

Thanks

I am not sure if that is the case or not. I read all the posts, but I am still unclear as to whether or not there is an event aware xbmc plugin or if there is just a keymapping available for it (which I've already done and won't need.)

Thank you..
