Is there a list of them somewhere?

I'd also like this info :)

\ - window/full screen mode toggle
a - library status

I'm not sitting in front of my boxee right now, but here are a few more that I can remember off the top of my head:

"P" - Play
"Q" - Queue
"I" - Info
"S" - Suspend/Exit Screen
"X" - Stops the currently playing media
"F" - Fast Forward (hit multiple times to go faster)
"R" - Rewind (hit multiple times to go faster)
"." (period) - Next
"," (comma) - Previous
Space - Pause/Play
Backspace - Parent Directory

When you start up boxee and before you login, there's an "i" on the bottom of login screen. Selecting that "i" will take you to the User Guide which serves as a nice reference for the keyboard/remote controls.

'{' Move 10 secs back
'}' Move 10 secs fwd

They only work where media control work.

The 'i' key seems to not be working for me. How do I get the menu to edit TV show or movie information? I use Plex a lot, and with Plex it's no problem editing thumbnails and stuff. I also have a TV show for which I'd like to change the language, so that boxee will load all the information in the different language. How's that possible?

edit: Whoops, wrong forum, I'm a Mac user. Google led me to this forum, alas ;)

currently, boxee does not support the editing of metadata.

The wiki shows S as being the hotkey for subs for that's looking like a shutdown command. Is there a way to enable and disable subs using the keyboard?

It would be good of Boxee to have a dedicated page for all the hotkeys. ;)

Here is a COMPLETE list located in c:\program files\boxee\system\keymaps.xml
which you can also configure and change...

You can see that different keys do different things depending on what screen you are on.
