There is a Knowledgebase item about this now. http://community.mediabrowser.tv/permal ... ia-browser

Are we also going to include the entire list of Windows Media Center keyboard shortcuts?

Well there is a complete list here as far as i can tell. you can suggest an improvement on the KB item and earn some reputation with your input.
This would really help out. Right now we are working hard on getting as much topics in the Knowledgebase so we could use your help.

I missed your point...sorry.

I thought you were saying these were already posted in the KB and asking if we wanted more beyond what was posted here (I was compiling the ones tikuf and DS posted here so I can update my Harmony). I will update the KB with what I grabbed from here.

Thanks.
