This one definitely falls under "first world problems"
My beloved harmony 785 remote has bitten the dust and I'm looking at a replacement. The Harmony Touch looks good with one problem - the skip forward buttons are in an amazingly awkward position at the very top of the remote above the screen!
I've been experimenting to see if I can get the cursor navigation buttons to work as skip forwards and skip back by editing the keymappings.xml file so I can use the d-pad on the remote for playback skipping (in a similar way to Plex / Kodi). This works perfectly when playing back and skipping but unfortunately makes navigating the EPG impossible (detects right keypress as skip forwards and jumps a whole day forward).
Not convinced there is a fix for this but has anyone else tried to do something similar with any success?
