Controlling the UI with a keyboard

I plugged in my Logitech k400r and it works really well with the OUYA, you can navigate the menus with the Arrow keys but is there a way to confirm and cancel using the keyboard because if their isn't this would be a big help to anyone else wanting to use their OUYA as a media center.

    With most keyboards, pressing Enter clicks buttons and Esc acts as a back button.

    I've noticed when using a USB keyboard on the Ouya UI that pressing Enter works like Tab, moving onto the next UI element.

    Well at one point that's how it worked :P

    We don't generally test with keyboards, so it may be unstable to use a keyboard for a while, but I'm fairly sure we can devote some time down the line to create a consistant keyboard control scheme :)

    Yeah Enter doesn't work currently, But it would be super handy to do that so I can navigate just using the keyboard.

    yeah i was thinking enter as (O) and backspace as (A)
     
    !!! oh and this one is important  !!!

     Holding both sticks in at once on the dash makes a Turbopianocat shoot past!
    Can't find aapt.exe? Temp fix: Copy another one from 'android_sdk/build-tools/17.0.0' back to your 'platform-tools'

    That seems logical and sane to me.
