Use Front Row w/out Apple Remote

April 05th, 2008 | Category: Apple / Mac

For those of you who have lost your Apple Remote or have an older Mac without an IR reciever, the new and improved Front Row included with Leopard now has keyboard commands. You can start Front Row with the icon in the Applications folder, but you can additionally start it with Command (⌘) +

ESC. From there, UP is equivalent to + on the remote and DOWN to - ; LEFT to rewind; RIGHT to fast forward; ENTER to pause/play; and ESC to menu. The keys work precisely the same as the buttons on the remote.
