    Is there a "Keyboard Help" screen in DefaultWideHD? to list keyboard controls? ... would be useful as a "Settings/General" sub menu.

    Wait a moment ... surely the keyboard shortcuts depend on the user's choices on the "Remotes and Input Devices" panel in "MP Config":
    • If the user has selected the full HID profile, the keyboard shortcuts will be as modified by the user in the file "hid.full.xml".
    • If the user has selected the classic HID profile, the keyboard shortcuts will be as modified by the user in the file "keymap.xml".
    So to display correctly the keyboard shortcuts, the skin needs to interrogate whichever of those two files is in use, and extract the actual definitions of the keyboard shortcuts. :(

    Well, here we go :D
    Made this change in PVHD, but should be easy to do it in DWHD as well.
    Added a button "Keyboard Shortcuts" to Settings -> General:

    Pressing this checkbutton results in this display:

    What do you think?
    I´ll do it for DWHD and attach the xml here when ready ;)

    Here we go again:
    Copy attached XML (overwrite) into your folder DWHD (or in your OldEyesWideHD) and have fun :D

    I guess it's really a rare case, most users use remote controls, then keyboards and last mouse. I tired to design things mouse friendly as much as possible, because it was almost impossible when I joined the team.
