Keyboard and Remote control
It is possible to assign various actions to pressing different keys on a USB keyboard connected to the Android device or on a remote control (if the particular Android device has one). This way it is possible to fully customize remote control for interactively controlling playback in Slideshow.
Keyboard shortcuts can be modified via the web interface → menu Settings → Key mapping. You can back up and restore the modified shortcuts using XML configuration backup (section Key mapping).
To disable all keyboard shortcuts, navigate to the web interface → menu Setting → Device settings and check Disable keyboard.
