How does one assign a keyboard key to a button?

Postby WannaTheater on Wed Jun 02, 2010 3:31 pm

When I right-arrow in a movie category, the next movie is selected. When I up arrow, it pages. When I select the movie (enter) I open moviedetails overlay. But once on this overlay, I need to click buttons to show "next item" and "previous item"

How can I assign the right-arrow to the "next item" button, and the left-arrow button to the "previous item" button.

(I am basically trying to eliminate "clicking buttons" and control everything through keyboard keys.... which will eventually be assigned to remote control) Or does anyone know of a better way to do this?

Thanks!

Use the XRemote plugin with Girder. You can assign default navigation for all screens, then tie these to specific IR event in Girder. If you don't totally understand, don't worry, you will see what I mean...very soon ;)
