    Hello

    My new Z9X is almost finished in setup. Instead of a remote I prefer navigating with a real keyboard or a makropad with just some arrow keys and enter/back.

    Everything is fine and arrow keys work (tested cable and bluetooth keyboard). Also "enter" is working. But I cannot find any key for "back" in the menu. "Pos1" gets me to main page but I want a key for just 1 step back. Tested many but did not find the correct one :)
    Can anyone help me pls?

    Can you confirm which Z9X you have - Z9X, Z9X Pro or Z9X 8K and I'll move to the correct forum.

    If it's the 8K, this is a known bug - the <esc> key should be mapped to <RETURN> but it only works in Media Center - It doesn't work in main UI, Settings, MP8 or HT5 etc.

    It's been on my buglist for a long time and it should be an easy fix.

    Sorry for incorrect sub-forum. You are correct: the 8k.

    So if it has been there for a long time AND it is easy.... .... I would really appreciate if you could solve it.

    Usually I use a custom remote I made with ZMK. So I can map any key but it must at least exist. For a couple of days I might be OK with pos1 (home) instead.

    Thanks in advance!

    Or....I was positively surprised by the z9x but missed to see the dual HDMI out of the z3000. Maybe I just upgrade and solve the issue this way

    The second HDMI on the Z3000 (and UHD8000) is audio only.

    All models use variations of the same firmware, so the escape key bug exists for all models in the 8K range.

    I know and I think its a great feature to have a seperate Audio-HDMI.

    If it exists on all......I repeat my whish for debugging :)
