Hi, I have been spoiled by the simplicity of the remote application for iOS that I use almost daily on my iPhone or iPad.
But sometimes, I want to use the web interface, because I have my laptop with me and don't want to reach for my phone. These times, I always end up frustrated by the webinterface that I find harder to use by clicking on each button with my mouse.
So i created a small Javascript to enable keyboard navigation on the remote controller of the webinterface. Just run it and keyboard navigation is effective immediately: Arrow keys to navigate, Enter to validate, Backspace to return back, Space to play/pause and Escape to go home.
Here is the script:
I hope this can help someone else and maybe end up in the code of the default webinterface :-)

38: "up",
39: "right",
40: "down"
};
$(document).bind("keydown", function(event){
var handler = handlers[event.which];
if( handler ){
$("#" + handler).click();
event.preventDefault();
}
});I hope this can help someone else and maybe end up in the code of the default webinterface :-)
