[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1174743, member: 141969"] Gentlemen, that behaviour is what is defined in the default configuration file. If you prefer something else, modify your configuration file! :D MP Config -> Remotes and Input Devices -> Generic HID -> Mappings I also prefer to have buttons that act as toggles (rather than cycles), so in a previous setup I defined the MENU button (aka START button on some remotes) to toggle the "Context" menu, and the INFO button to toggle the programme info (i.e. the OSD). However, if you often use the MENU/START button with its default action of "Home", you would need to use some other button for that (possibly defining a "layer" so that some other button acts as a "shift key"). For the past few weeks I have been using the Ortek/Hama remote (with the new config file that I have been developing for it), and I have defined the LEFT_MOUSE button to toggle the "Context" menu, and the RIGHT_MOUSE button to toggle the OSD. This allows the START button to remain as "Home". (y) I find that usability is improved if buttons that are frequently used in succession are physically located close together on the remote. :) -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
