Features¶

The third tab is Features - the most powerful and interesting tab with the main features of the app.

Let's talk about every feature

Media panel¶

The media panel is a good feature if your remote control doesn't have media buttons, but you need a quick way to control media. It looks like in the picture below

So you can press UP to play, DOWN to Stop, OK to Pause, LEFT to play previous media, and RIGHT to play next media.

There are two panels in the tab because they use different methods to control media. The first media panel uses the method that is also used by media actions from the "Action" tab, so these actions may not work in all applications.

Media control panel 2 requires to have installed as default Leankey Keyboard or have enabled "Use ADB for button emulation" in the ADB tab of the app settings.

Cursor¶

Something like a mouse toggle for any Android TV device. By default cursor looks like a small translucent circle (see the screenshot), but you can change it to an arrow in the settings.

Use long press on the "Cursor" feature to choose between "Cursor" (toggle), "Open cursor", "Close cursor" and "Get cursor coordinates". The last allows to create "Tap screen" action after you choose cursor position on the screen.
