[solved] "Keyboard Help" Screen? (1 Viewer)

[2BitSculptor]

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

No there is no such a screen - but you'll find all that in MP Config

Yes I know ... but why should one have to exit MP just to get a quick look? Maybe a future addition? ... I think it's above my pay-grade

There is a nice list here: Keyboard Default Shortcuts
Maybe you can print it and put it on your table

But seriously, will have a look what could be done in skin - I do have an idea...

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
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
