If the help window is already open, give it focus. Sounds cool. > 2. Has this already been done/thought about? I didn't see any similar > features/tasks/bugs in Trac. See #590, it is for a similar functionality in the mythcontrols. > 3. Any complications I should anticipate? In addition to the ones in #590, I believe that F1 is already bound in some contexts as context sensitive help. And there are probably more active keys in some contexts than there is screen real-estate. You might need F1 to cycle through several screens. > 4. Any tips on where to hook in the code? ProcessKeyPress()? I think you should coordinate with Hal Burch on finishing #590, and then use some of that code for your extension. I believe he was going to look at it again after Thanksgiving. -- Daniel
