I use a wireless mouse to control my nPVR sessions and an on-screen keyboard when typing required. With only the mouse, is there a way to minimize (restore down) a maximized full screen nPVR session?

And/or, how could I insert a 'minimize' onto the nPVR right-click menu?

+1 - been stuck there myself. I have to exit and restart. Could a scroll-wheel clck be remapped to escape or something?

A WMP-style button on the OSD would be nice. Of course there's already a keyboard command (Alt-Enter).

NextPVR is great with a remote and the 10' interface, however with a keyboard and/or mouse it is cumbersome and really needs a refresh. There are too many two-key and even two-handed operation with the keyboard. My desktop had dedicated multimedia keys which helped, my laptop which I now, doesn't give me that choice. I know that sub has posted he wants to reserve keys for text input but the UI should be smart enough to know when text is and isn't needed.

The right click mouse options were okay when NextPVR was being rushed out, but it is almost an afterthought.

Truth be told, IMO it is not the bling it is this small attention to ease-of-use that makes XBMC a more friendly media player for me. I didn't realize how nice it is to type \ and not struggle with Alt-Enter until I started switching between the clients often frequently.
