Hi, 

I've been trying to map a button(rewind) to launch the subtitle search window from my remote, a Logitech Harmony 525 set up as a MCE remote. 
However, I can't seem to get it to work.
I've tried editing the keyboard.xml with:

And I've tried with the MCE remote plugin as well as the Keymap editor plugin. None of these options has worked. 
A thread I came across suggested that I write <u>ActivateWindow...</u>, that didn't work either(or maybe I did it wrong).

Now I think I have read all wiki posts concerning the matter as well as googled and searched the forum for quite some time. 
Can anyone help me a bit? Would be really appreciated!

I'm on Kodi 17.6, Windows 8.1 and Aeon Nox skin.

Thanks for your time.

Ok, so I kinda solved it.
Instead of trying to map the rewind button on the remote directly, I mapped the ActivateWindow(subtitlesearch) to a keyboard button (F7 in my case) and then mapped it to the rewind button in Eventghost. 
Alternatively I think you can use the mceremotemapper tool to do the same without Eventghost. But for me it wass just easier to use Eventghost since I already use it for other things on my htpc.

The rewind-button is named "reverse" and you seem to have used a wrong closing bracket for the built-in function (i.e. ">" instead of ")" )so:
should work.

Thanks so much!
The closing bracket was a mistype here, didn't see it because I'm writing on my phone.

Will try with reverse instead, thanks again. Don't know how I missed something so obvious.

Edit:


Kind of strange. Tried mapping the fast forward button as you suggested, just to try it out. However it's not working.
