Why is the "Key" field in the Remote setup always disabled? e.g. Microsoft MCE selected. See attached image.

I needed to remap "Back" action to a "backspace" button on my remote (Adesso) and the Remote setup sounded like the place to do it. However it seems impossible to remap any action to any key/button stroke... as the field is always disabled. I tried creating a "custom" copy of Microsoft MCE xml config file but not sure how it is picked up by the config utility (there is no "use other" option).

I have ended up using Keys and Sounds option in the General menu and changed the mapping of the Back option to the button stroke from my remote.... exactly something like I expected to see in the Remote setup. Quite baffled here.

Appreciate the help.
