Hi all,

I've updated KeyboardInputPlugin again, current version is now 2.4.2.0. This version fixes a bug in the configuration screen, so if you're currently using version 2.4.1.0 it is wise to upgrade.

I've also further updated the configuration screen; main new functionality is a button to import a mapping XML file into your current mapping. Instead of having to select a default configuration upon installation, new users will now start with an empty mapping; they can then import any mapping they like. This allows you, for example, to configure KeyboardInputPlugin with both a remote control mapping and a keyboard shortcut mapping. It also makes the install process much easier, circumventing some problems with MPEI.

If you want to help with further development, here are some ideas:
README.HTML still needs to be updated to reflect latest configuration and installation changes.
A better help function would be welcome.
While selecting a file to import, it would be nice to see some information about the mapping file you're currently about to import. For example, the OpenFileDialog could have some side dialog that displays the info.txt for the currently selected file/directory. Also some hints which file to select if you're not sure (e.g. 'select MCE Remote based mappings if your remote is not listed').
Any other improvement suggestions?
