Stats for nerds

[khodges747 55]

I like the new Stats for nerds toggle in ET, but the keyboard combination Ctrl+J can not (AFAIK) be mapped to a key on my Harmony remote set to control a Windows Media Center SE.

 

If that shortcut was reprogrammed to Ctrl+ any of the following letters I could then assign a Harmony key to toggle it:

A

C

Esc

Shift+I

Shift+Tab

T

Tab

V

W

X

Z

 

Obviously all of those keys are already Windows shortcuts (which is why they're available on the Harmony) but as long as ET has focus and Windows does not, there will be no problem. I doubt many people use the remote to do tasks on a PC.

 

There are also numerous Alt+ and Win+ key combos available in the Harmony that could be used.

Yes. This would be great!

I have suggested Alt+s

[khodges747 55]

I see why you proposed that, but that key combo is not available in the Harmony programmed to emulate a Windows Media Center SE. And my request is to use a key combo that already exists in the Harmony so that I can program a button on my remote.

 

Alt options are:

Alt + any number key

Alt + Enter

Alt + Esc

(There are others in the list, such as Alt+F4, but they actually do something in ET so they can't be used)

 

There are also several Win key combos.

What do you use to to enable the Harmony to "talk" to the Windows PC? Is there a USB receiver? I use a FLIRC to receive the IR commands from my universal remote, and it lets you set any key command to input signals from the remote.

The PC is an Intel NUC with built-in IR, and the Harmony talks to it in IR. There's no USB receiver.
