Navigation key to switch back and forth from Library to Settings? - mr-b - 2023-01-22
Hi
When trying to diagnose playback issues I find myself changing a setting then having to do lots of taps/clicks etc. to get back to the Library page, then navigate down to the file, try out playback, then navigate back to the settings page to tweak another setting, and so on and so forth.
Is there an easy way to switch back and forth between Library and Settings pages?
I looked in https://kodi.wiki/view/Basic_controls but couldn't see anything.

put this in userdata/keymaps/keymap.xml then you can open settings with F2
xml:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<keymap>
<global>
<keyboard>
<F2>ActivateWindow(settings)</F2>
</keyboard>
</global>
</keymap>

Great - tx. I've never modded the keymap file but will give it a whirl.
How would I get back to the Library once I'd made the settings change?
Also any ideas what would work for Android i.e no Fn keys?
Is it possible to mod the side-menu?

when you back out of settings it *should* put you back where you were, i.e. library
on android i think it still works the same but youll have to find a numbered key instead of F2 that works for your remote, i havent tried this
keymap editor addon should be able to show you which keys are which for remote buttons, just dont select save after you change a button and copy the id it used
of course it's possible to modify the side menu, it requires editing the skin files, not something im prepared to walk you through however

Yes, anything you can do in a keymap you can do adding a button control with an "onclick" set to the built-in function.
