Hi,
I think the "back" key is not working as expected (at least for me ;)) and I think that's confusing and illogical. Examples: 1) Hitting "back" key after "info" key to leave info OSD doesn't close OSD but shows the schedule or the recordings OSD. 2) Pressing the "back" key after any key defined in keymacros.conf also doesn't close the OSD. Using the default keymacros.conf: hitting "blue" then "back" opens the main menu.
I know that the "menu" key always closes the current OSD. But nevertheless "back" associates that by hitting it you'll get to where you came from. I think nobody thinks of getting to VDR's previous menu in its menu hierarchy.
Is there a chance that this will change someday or is this the intended behaviour?
Kind regards, Andreas

I, for one, expect the "Back" button to return to the previous level in the menu hierarchy. Think of the setup menus and the timer and recording menus.

Maybe the "Info" button should close the current OSD before opening a new one?

You are right, but I didn't ask to change that. If I open the the main menu and then navigate to any submenu (e.g. Recordings) and then open a recording's info by pressing "blue" (IIRC) and _now_ press "back" it's absolutely logical that I return to the recordings menu. But if I watch a recording and press "info" I don't expect that "back" shows the recordings menu.
I mean that the "back" key should never bring me to a menu I didn't pass before.
Another example: In recordings menu pressing a "shortcut" key to run a reccmd for that recording (for example "3" key) I see the reccmd's output. Now I press "back" and what do I see? No, it's _not_ the recording's menu where I pressed "3". I see a listing of defined reccmds.

I was talking about pressing the "info" key without an open OSD.
I hope I could make it more clear now...

Technically, in both cases, you passed through all these menus without noticing, and with just one key press. VDR creates all these menus, but instead of showing them, the next nested menu is created on top of them.
Changing this behavior would require rewrites of larger parts of the menu handling (first case) or is almost impossible (second case).
Cheers,
Udo
