I would like to suggest a simplified navigation scheme:
Up/Down scrolls through menu's lists's etc.
Right takes you into an option, Left takes you out.

An example is being discussed in the Music Album dev stream. Up/Down scrolls OK "does action", In Albums list it enques current album. Right arrow takes you from album view to album contents, where you can choose a track (up/down) and OK enqueues it. Right arrow takes you into the actual playlist and left backs out the same order of screens right up to the top level menu.

Another example is up/down chooses menu entry and right arrow opens a sub menu. Again scroll up and down and when ready hit OK. The idea being much simpler navigation arrows navigate and OK does. I find the current keys confusing (Do I press left arrow or Enter or some other key...)

OK here's my real request can the right arrow select the highligted entry in the top level menu? (Leaving all other keys as is. Just the top level having a right arrow added to do the same as the "Enter" key).

thanks
Thomas

OK, Still a great program! I wanted to use it on my car PC with a touch screen, MCE is way too slow and resource hungry! Hence the easier navigation. Possibly with a front panel keypad and headless except for a small dot matrix display...

thanks for the prompt reply

See it's mostly there in the xml's in the latest release - thanks. Now I can map my minimal remote keys to the functions I want... Only one not there yet are the function keys. But I see I can change the default applications in the main xml - thanks again for that one.

Thanks again for adding this feature, and an excellent replacement for my slow and feature light MCE. These changes really help me in my setup
