How to customise keys?
#1
hi guys,

i have the xbmc nightly build (not sure of version but its about 1wk old) on my media pc. I have a Keysonic wireless keyboard, which also has a mouse touchpad and scrollwheel built in:-

Now when i play a movie, i can use my left/right arrow keys to skip backward/forward. But since the built-in touch also has a scroll option right next to it, i end up accidently touching the scrollwheel which makes the movie very quickly jump to another section which as you can imagine can be very irritating.

I don't like this and was wondering if i could instead change the key mapping, so that the scroll option instead allows me to adjust the volume up/down.

If so, how?


thanks

sorry just want to add that i still want the help with the above problem, but i've just realised that i can modify my old xbox dongle and use any univeral/xbox remote. Since the "HOWTO" tutorial is over a year old, could anyone clarify that tutorial still applies, or is there a newer tutorial?

FYI information, i have the Logitech Harmony remote which i use to control tv/amp/sky/cable and now i would like to control the pc too Smile

If you buy a Microsoft remote, or one of the full compatibles like the HP, you can use the receiver with your Harmony. The Harmony can emulate the MS remote. For info on using an MS remote see http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Usi...in_Windows or just download mceremote.zip from http://xbmcmce.sourceforge.net/

Re the scrollwheel, I don't think the mouse actions can be customised in the same way that the kyboard can.
