Navigation via remote

[tale]

I have a media center remote. It works well. However, I've noticed that on the Settings->General Settings screen you have to press the ESC button to leave that screen. Most other screens allow you to use the Backspace button to return up a level.

I don't have an ESC button on my remote which means I have to either remember not to enter that screen or leave a keyboard hooked up to my standalone box.

I believe that this is probably an error, since all of the other settings screens allow a user to leave the screen via the Backspace button.

Can anyone tell me what the policy is for screens that require the ESC key to leave them? I'd like for the "back" navigation to be possible using only the Backspace key.

+1... confirmed.

looks like this is just a bug/oversight on that particular screen. :(

[marcel]

this is a known bug already opened a report on this..:)

Finally got everything set up with my mce remote and can't seem to navigate very well without an Esc command/key on the remote. Tried re-maping in the xml, but the remote strings don't appear to include Esc. Is there another way to set Esc to a button?

[agentlame]

the tag you're looking for is "back"

in my lircmap.xml, it looks like this:

<back>EXIT</back>

looks like it should be the 'back' button on your mce remotre:

<back>Back</back>

Thanks, tried setting it to
<back>Back</back> as you indicated since Back is active in lircd.conf as "Back 0x00007bdc" but it still does not function like the Esc key does, not sure what I'm missing. Also since I couldn't find boxee's keymap.xml I'm using http://xbmc.org/wiki/index.php?title=Keymap.xml as a reference, can I find the boxee file somewhere or is that close enough?

What I am wondering, since escape is defined in the Keyboard functions and not available in the remote functions, where is the boxee navigaton element coded to use escape and not back? Does boxee use Translator?

boxee's keymap is in the same folder as lircmap...

linux: ~/.boxee/UserData
mac: ~/Library/Application Support/BOXEE/UserData

For some reason there was no Keymap.xml in linux, but I found it in OSX and copied it to my linux boxee.

Keymap.xml <remote> shows

<back>PreviousMenu</back>
and <keyboard> shows

<escape>PreviousMenu</escape>
Lircmap.xml is set to

<back>Back</back>

Still does not work, I feel like I'm missing something obvious.

[agentlame]

something is not right.

try deleting the whole boxee config:
exit boxee
run:
rm -rf ~/.boxee
re-launch boxee...

it will (read: should) re-create all it's required files.

[radione]

Interesting. It deleted all the config files, then re-created (most) of them when I started it up. However, Keymap.xml is not in there.

Re-installed boxee via Synaptic, removed configs, restarted, still no keymap.xml. Any ideas?
