i made my own keyboard file. as far as i understand it works like this:

mc first looks in the custom resource file for the keystroke.
when it is not there it picks the one in the default recourse file.
i changed the playback engine for the up down etc keys succesfully to scroll the image instead of going through the menu.

now my problem:
i want to disable the page up and page down for the playback engine.
i tried to take the whole command out of the custom resource. this did not work because default takes over.
i also tried to take away the command part only.. like
   <Entry Key="Page Down" Command="" TranslateFlags="32" />
that did not help either. taking the commands out of the default did work, ofcourse.

is there a way i can accomplish that using the custom resource file only?

Not really.  It's designed to allow adding shortcuts, not remap existing ones.

are these files documented then?
i.e. locations/filenames and what goes in them?

never knew they even existed... but could be handy :-)

well yes they are. there is some documentation in the wiki:
http://wiki.jrmediacenter.com/index.php/User_Defined_Global_Keyboard_Shortcuts

now what i do is just test anything on the resource.xml file you find in the data folder>Default Resources in the mc 12 instalation folder. a reinstall of mc will just overwrite all the stupid mistakes i make, or you could just back up the original. when it works, i make a a custom resources folder with a copy of my last succesfull version. works for most things.
to understand all the numbers there you will need this info:
http://wiki.jrmediacenter.com/index.php/Media_Center_Core_Commands

it can be very handy when you really want/need to change anything. there are a few threads in the forum about it.

and when stuck this is the place to ask.
