This plugin gives ability to start others plugins easily with any button on the remote.
It has three ways of starting plugins:

2. With shortcut button pressed during TIMEOUT it will run plugin which is configured
with that shortcut button.
3. With not mapped button pressed during TIMEOUT it will run GUI to manage plugins.
