foreground/active application.
Maps
are a group of
Actions
for a particular application. For
example, the Keyspan Remote Software has a
Map
for both QuickTime Player and PowerPoint.
The QuickTime Player Map specifies that pressing the Fast Forward button on your remote will
send a keystroke (or keystroke combination) that will result in fast forwarding through the currently
playing song. The PowerPoint Map specifies a keystroke that will result in moving to the next
slide. The Keyspan Remote software ships with several Maps for many popular applications so
that you don't have to create a Map for these applications.
Tech Note: How To Check What Maps Are Installed:
You can check to see what maps are installed by opening the Keyspan Map Editor. For
information how to do this, please read the
Changing The Keyspan Remote
Software Settings
section later in this manual.
