Dear Kylo Team,

Yesterday I installed the kylo Browser and it works fantastic for me. I replaced the Vaio Livng Room Browser by the Kylo Browser.  I am using the kylo Browser in combination with the W7 Media Center and navigate with the Microsoft Remote Control. Basic navigation is OK and there are already a number of wishes concerning the usability of the remote control in this forum. For me three basic functions are missing:

1. When the pointer reaches the bottom of the screen, the actual pages should scroll down and if the pointer reaches the top of the screen, the actual page should scroll up. The use of the right slider is less convenient.

2. It would be great, if kylo would support the back button of the remote control to switch back to the previous page.

3. Kylo should exit and go back to the media center, if the green button is pressed. Now it remains in background and it is difficult to get it back on top the second time without a keyboard, because Media Center remains on top in this case.

It would be great, if you can consider my suggestions.

Check out AutoHotKey. I’ve used it to write a few scripts that do something similar to what you want here.

I’m still working on your other issues, but with Kylo v1.1.1 (just released today), Kylo should respond to the “back” button on media remotes (also forward, home, search, etc.)

Thank you very much. The featured back button is great. I am looking forward to use the other features. Another thing is that the startup behavior of kylo has changed. When I start kylo from Media Center it has not the input focus (the task bar is on top of the window of kylo ). Before I can navigate with the remote control I have to activate kylo by a mouse click. This is a minor problem but inconvenient.
