Now we're talking! Random thoughts after a successful setup!

Thanks @Nillaz 
I tried the clientcmd|back, maybe I put it in the wrong place.. stranger things have happened. LoL, I'll try again tomorrow. 
​​​​​​Have you attempted to make an activity or macro to mimic the harmony activities? 
I have an ip2ir enroute to move away from the harmony hub and am wanting to try my own "activity" creation.

I just checked and currently I'm using clientcmd|Home. You add this by going into button properties and the Commands tab and adding this to the server command section.

The default SmartRemote hard buttons have a long press on the Back and Home buttons programmed for ClientCmd|Back and ClientCmd|Home respectfully at the project level. Meaning these are global commands on all pages unless they are overridden by the page commands.

For those that have discovered that the EndlessList object tends to be a bit too Endless it is fixed in the next round of Designer updates. It's a change to the app.css file that fixes it.

Thanks for this I appreciate it.

FWIW I was able to piece together a long press command that works for the Shield using the IP2IR, a FLIRC, and some custom IR codes that I imported into myServer. It ain't pretty, but it's getting the job done and will pass the wife test.

While I'm already deeply involved in hacking The Matrix here could you tell me if there's a way to remap the mic button? I don't see it in the Hard Button properties. I'm probably never going to use this for server level voice control but it would be the perfect button for me to invoke Google Assistant.

Was able to get my SmartTubeNext and Curiosity Stream shortcuts working now via the FLIRC. For the first time my To Do list is shorter than my Done list. Feels good!

My recollection is that a var gets updated with the Text the SmartRemote sends to myServer.  Possibly you could lace in an Automation Event (on change) to do what you want to do?  Voice services will be a later add to myServer.  There is an Alpha driver today, but it needs more work to be usable.

I just modified the AndroidTV and Roku drivers to support a Longpress command.

For Android ADB has a native longpress command. I tested a LongPress|Home and it worked.

For Roku Longpress is implemented as a KeyDown,  wait 1.5 seconds then KeyUp. Not sure of the timing. It might be too long or too short.

Let me know how these commands work.

 

I just got back to this, I can confirm the longpress works (at least for select) on Roku.  Thanks!
