mPod - can I use that editor to map any arbitrary keyboard keypress to a remote button - I would like to map the "TAB" key to be able to move around in the web browser. Is their a numerical listing of keycodes to reference? Thanks in advance.

It's a bad idea to hijack other threads, so I split it off.
Anyway, there is no list, I can only offer the following. Currently that property is involved in the code for catching imitated keystrokes in MP (this might change in the future):

Bad thing for you is this section on that page:
You can get or set the following keys:
* a-z, A-Z.
* CTRL.
* Punctuation marks.
* Number keys, both across the top of the keyboard and on the numeric keypad.
* ENTER.
You cannot get or set the following keys:
* The TAB key.
* INSERT and DELETE.
* HOME.
* END.
* PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN.
* F1-F2.
* ALT.
* Arrow keys.

Thanks, mPod - I knew I shouldn't hijack the thread but I had been trying to get help here:

to no avail, and saw an "opening" :wink:
Thanks for the definitive answer: it sounds like there is no current way to map a tab key to an MCE remote control key. This (as well as up arrow, page, etc.) would be a great feature for MP as it would allow primitive control over web browsing (which I use for an interface to home automation).
