Trivial keyboard issue
« on: June 22, 2012, 10:28:51 am »

Yes, it's not major or exciting but it is a niggle.

The keyboard shortcut wiki says TAB should shift menu focus forward and Shift-TAB should move the focus back. In theater view both do the same ( move focus forward). I have them mapped to the up/down buttons on my Harmony it would be great if they worked as expected.  :)

Everything in Theater View works with just five keys.  Left arrrow, right, up, down, and enter.

Well the tab key works, I promise! If you have a decent remote it is not good to have to scroll all the way to the top of a list of library items just to get to the menus at the top. It is just, frankly, odd that shift-tab, like tab, moves the focus forward, not back as you'd expect.

What Harmony do you have?
Just curious because I know the tab/shift+tab behavior has nothing to do with the remote since using a keyboard gives the same result.
I have a 900.

Yep, me too. I tested with the keyboard and it is the same. I have a 900 too  :)

Oh, and while we are at it, PageUp and PageDown work in TheaterView too, with most views, just not Flow.  :)

I have those mapped to ch+ and ch- and TAB/shift-TAB mapped to the extra up/down keys.

Are you aware that you can use the number pad for navigation 1 takes you to the first file, 2 = A, 3 = D, etc, and 0 is end. Much faster than using page up/down if you have a large collection.
I wish the Harmony software had the ability to export/share profiles other than creating a new remote/device.

No I didn't realise that. Works great. Thank you!
