Full Version: Windows Shortcuts with Harmony Remote
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Hi All,

I have a Harmony 650 remote. When I begin the "Watch XBMC" activity, I would like all other programs to minimize and XBMC to start. Windows has a show desktop keyboard shortcut (Win+D), and I've set up a keyboard shortcut to launch XBMC (F6). I easy solution would be to program a sequence for the remote where Win+D is first followed by F6. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to program the Harmony 650 to execute the Win+D command. Does anyone know of a solution?

Thank You All!
an IR remote cannot send windows commands, not technically possible. You need a Windows app to convert IR to a command.

check out EventGhost.org
Add the "Windows Media Center SE" device then add to Activity for the Win key combinations.
