Alt-f4?
#1
I need a quick way to exit XBMC (or more accurately my wife insists on something less complicated than S > LEFT_ARROW > ENTER). I was going to map something to ALT-F4 (or just use ALT-F4) but I seem to recall reading in one of these forums that it was a bad idea to use ALT-F4 as it could lead to database corruption but I can't seem to find any reference to it now.

So, my question... am I losing it? Huh

Did I actually read that and more importantly is it true?

If I shouldn't use ALT-F4, any suggestions on mapping a single key (or key combo) to something that will shutdown XBMC in one step (i.e. it shouldn't just bring up the shutdown menu)?

Just press 'End' button on keyboard

ok, that got me half way there...

By default END doesn't work that way if you're in a list of movies or whatever. In that case it does what you'd normally expect (takes you to the end of the list). But knowing that END did that at all I looked at the default keyboard.xml and found the function associated and made it global. Problem solved.

Thanks!Big Grin
