Controling boxee using keyboard. What keys?

[perrin21]

Hiya, could someone post all of the keyboard shortcuts for Boxee. I am using them to control via Mira remote control interface on apple remote.

I am finding using the arrow keys and enter/escape to be glitchy. Any ideas welcome.

If you check out the keymap.xml file, it should give you an idea of which keys do what.

Also, you should be able to change any key mappings you are having issues with.

You can find keymap.xml on Linux in:
~/.boxee/UserData/
on Mac:
~/Library/Application Support/BOXEE/UserData/

Lastly, if you could describe the glitches in more detail, there maybe other solutions available to you.

thanks agentlame...

here are a few keys that work ...

arrow keys -used for navigating up,down,left and right.
enter key - used to select the feature
esc key -to go back to the previous screen.
tab key - full screen/windowed screen
"a" key -open the left menu
"s" key - open the logout option

Perrin21, what keys did you end up setting up Mira with. I am still trying to figure out what I want to do and whether or not I want to remove the global Volume keys or not.

I just installed Mira and so far I really like it! And it looks like it will be extremely useful with Boxee.

hiya, to be honest i mostly use my logitec dinovo mini for controlling boxee now. Its just a nice easy to use controller.

is there a list with all the comands that can be used in "keymap.xml" ?

i had no "keymap.xml" and created one with the comands posted above and i wanted to know if there are more to be used

[agentlame]

that's no good. :(

instead of trying to fix leymap.xml, just delet your entire boxee config:
~/.boxee

and let boxee rebuild it.

[Bulldog]

nope that doesn't work , still no keymap.xml in /home/bulldog/.boxee/UserData

and now boxee is realy realy slooooowwwww, it uses up to 75% of my cpu.
it didn't do that before i deleted the contence of ./boxee

[Bulldog]

anyone cares to PM me his keymap.xml, because i deleted ./boxee now for the second time and still no keymap.xml

[joincamp]

no keymap.xml here either.
