Hi Yonu,
What remote are you using?
What button?
What is the ID Keymap Editor is giving you for that button press?

Hi Yonu,
The Back key on the T3 acts as the right mouse button when mouse mode is on. key ID 57345
When mouse mode is turned off the back key operates as ESC . key ID 61467.
Use these key ID's in your keymap file to change to what you want.

no luck i even tried this from the wiki
<remote>
<back>stop</back>
</remote>
<keyboard>
<back>stop</back>
<backspace>stop</backspace>
<escape>stop</escape>
</keyboard>
I did try running the showkey program and it twll me the keys value is 166 and vk_browser_back but that doesn't work either I even tried the notification it suggests which is this
<browser_back>Notification(Key, browser_back, 3)</browser_back>
thank ideas would be great

I have the T3 remote as well but mine works as i described above.
if your machine is showing browser back
maybe try the key ID 53249 (i cannot try this so its a bit of a guess if it works)
