I've long wondered about JRiver's philosophy regarding keyboard control. That is, when the focus for mouse and keyboard are primarily music or video playback, why have you adopted keyboard control that demands 2 hands ... (e.g., ctrl-6 for detach display, ctrl-shift+arrow for forward/back). It seems to me, when the focus is playback, keyboard control should be a lot simpler (... e.g., spacebar = toggle play/pause, 'F' = Fastforward, 'R' = rewind). Am I missing something?
Thanx again for an otherwise nice piece of software :)

In a way you are missing something. Per default you are right but there is a powerful tool called resource.xml. You find some Information in the wiki [here (http://wiki.jrmediacenter.com/index.php/User_Defined_Global_Keyboard_Shortcuts)] and in the Resource.xml file itself. You can find the file at JRiver Media Center\Data\Custom Resources\Resource.xml. A list of MC comands can be found in the wiki [here (http://wiki.jrmediacenter.com/index.php/Media_Center_Core_Commands)]
And have a look at these options you are able to set for each command:
don't translate in edits, comboboxes, and other data entry controls
don't translate in fullscreen mode or theater view
don't translate in any type of popup window
only translate in fullscreen
don't translate in IE, VB controls, or other unknown rich controls
targets playback engine / display (DVD, image playback, etc.)
only translate when Action Window is focusedYou're also able to set a shortcut as a global which also works when MC is out of focus.
If you eg. want to set spacebar to toggle play/pause always if MC is in focus but not if you're writing something within MC, you could add this line:
<Entry Key="Space" Command="10000" TranslateFlags="1" Global="0"/>
If you eg. want to set Insert to toggle play/pause always even if MC is NOT in focus, you could add this line:
<Entry Key="Insert" Command="10000" Global="1"/>
