Key Property

Jump to search
It is possible to set a key property (of type string) to a content item to assign a keyboard key to the corresponding item action. If you want to assign multiple keys to the same item, please use the separator | (e.g. "shift|caps_lock"). This feature is available since version 0.1.97.
Note: Only if the corresponding content page is active, the keyboard keys are applied. Please also note that some keys can be assigned differently depending on the used keyboard layout.
Please see following available keys.
"0",
"1",
"2",
"3",
"4",
"5",
"6",
"7",
"8",
"9",
"a",
"b",
"c",
"d",
"e",
"f",
"g",
"h",
"i",
"j",
"k",
"l",
"m",
"n",
"o",
"p",
"q",
"r",
"s",
"t",
"u",
"v",
"w",
"x",
"y",
"z",
"space",
"tab",
"shift",
"caps_lock",
"insert",
"home",
"delete",
"end",
"multiply",
"divide",
"add",
"subtract",
"decimal",
"period",
"comma",
"semicolon",
"dash",
"equal",
"quote",
"accent",
"slash",
"backslash",
"bracket_open",
"bracket_close".
Note: Please note that following remote control buttons are mapped to keyboard keys: REWIND → "delete", FORWARD → "insert", NEXT_TRACK → "end", PREVIOUS_TRACK → "home". Since version 0.1.119, you can also use the keys "red", "green", "yellow", and "blue" for the color buttons. However, the "blue" key has no effect, because the menu is assigned to this key. Since version 0.1.148, you can also use the keys "guide", "info", "clear", "settings", "search", "channel_list", "channel_up", "channel_down", "play", "pause", "stop", "toggle_play_pause", "forward", "rewind", "record", "restart", "next_track", and "previous_track" for special remote control buttons. However, the "channel_up" and "channel_down" keys have no effects on menu/content pages, because these keys are used for fast scrolling.
Please see following example.
