I've just been upgrading to RC3, and modifying my remote button mapping. I noticed that there is a "Big Step Forward" action which I hadn't seen before - so I tried it out (for reasons, see below).
Unfortunately, when I press the mapped key, all it seems to do is jump BACKWARD! (i.e. has the same function as "Big Step Backward"). I also found it was allocated to the UP arrow on the keyboard by default, but again, only jumps back when pressed (so UP and DOWN arrows do the same thing).
Am I missing something? Or is this a bug? Help?
---------
OK, now for some background on what I was trying to accomplish. I've been a long-time and happy user of ReplayTV DVRs (we have 3 in our house). On these, the back button (Replay) skips backward 7 secs - which turns out to be a perfect time for when you missed what someone said on TV to skip back to catch it again. Whereas the Forward (Skip) button skips forward 30secs (one average commercial). I had setup my skip steps to be 7,30 but this meant I have to press twice for each 'live' commercial (comskip works fine for recorded shows, but not for live delay).
When I found the "Big Step Forward" action, I thought this was ideal, I mapped "Step Back" to the "Replay" button and "Big Step Forward" to the "Skip" button. Unfortunately, currently, this just gives me two skip back functions!
Thanks
