Editing Controls.ini

I'm trying to modify the keyboard controls to make my Twinhan remote work.
I've done the easy ones but Volume+ and Volume- are not as straight forward.
Can I edit the Controls.ini file to allocate shift/numpad8 to Volume+? It seems to need a pair of values allocated and I don't know how to do this.

AFAIK keyboard controls don't work together with Shift, Ctrl or Alt. But i did not yet test the very latest versions.
Though, certainly this would be a nice feature, expanding choice and avoiding possible conflicts.
Wonder if Prog can implement such occasionally.
For Volume control, perhaps think about using Num + and -

Thanks for that, it confirms where I've got to.
My other problem is trying to edit the controls from within Progdvb. If I use settings,control,edit I can edit some values with the learn function. Other keys don't work because they seem to be interpreted as window controls, eg numpad8.
If I try to select a value from the dropdown menu instead of using learn, nothing happens. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Plain and simple, I don't know.
Windows may keep it's own hotkeys locked. We don't have the same version (as default).
NUM lock switch state may matter, i don't have any idea on mapping mechanics, neither on Windows, nor on ProgDVB..
Even the keyboard type may matter.
In any case, all controls must be unique in ProgDVB.
If one exists, delete it before coordinating elsewhere with.
For technical reasons, I am not using Engine2 or .NET versions normally. Things may differ there.
And I am using a big Philips TV (mode) remote for my Nexus, not keyboard controls.
Anybody else out there who can proceed?
