Forgive me if this has been asked before but I've searched the forums and had no luck so far.
I would like to know how and what I need to add to keymap.xml to activate the search window from the home screen and whilst in the TV Shows and Movies screens. I would liek to use "Alt+S" to accomplish this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
I would also like to know ghow to achieve this from a shortcut on the keyboard please.
I currently have he global search add on that I would like to activate via a shortcut instead of having to hover over it with my mouse.
Thanks
Ryan
so I found this in the forum -
You can add the following statement to your custom keyboard.xml file:
Code:
<some-key>SendClick(8)</some-key>
If you don't already have a custom keyboard.xml file in your userdata\keymaps\ directory, you can create one there with the following contents:
Code:
<keymap>
<global>
<keyboard>
<some-key>SendClick(8)</some-key>
</keyboard>
</global>
</keymap>
Obviously, "some-key" needs to be substituted with the name of the actual key you want mapped to this function.
This works within the file lists but what if I want to call the seach from the home screen??
Thanks
