Want to use "Back" in the homescreen menu? - Jeroen - 2010-07-23

unsticked this thread as it is now possible without modifying keymaps

You can change mapping of your remote on a per screen basis. As back has no function in the main menu (home) screen just change the mapping of your back button (in the keymap.xml file) for the home screen to mean left:

<Home>
<remote>
<Back>Left</Back>
<Menu>Left</Menu>
</remote>
</Home>

Then from the submenu pressing back or menu will just send <left> and bingo. In other screens back will still work as per normal.
