Alternative keymaps for mice and remotes with airmouse features, as suggested by the community.
Installing keymaps
There are a few methods to load custom keymaps on Kodi.
File manager
Kodi's built in file manager can be used to copy files from a network file share (such as SMB/Windows sharing), or a USB thumb drive, to the userdata folder.
- Save the keymap you want to use as a plain text file as "keymap.xml" (it can be anything as long as it ends in .xml) on the file share.
- Go to the File Manager in Kodi. For the default skin, Confluence, highlight the "System" tab and then select the submenu "File manager" option.
- Add the file share as a source in the "A" window, then navigate to where the keymap file is.
- In the "B" window go do the Profile directory which will be the userdata folder, then open the keymaps folder.
- Highlight the keymap file from the "A" window, then press menu, and then select copy. This will copy the selected keymap to the Fire TV's userdata folder.
- Now just restart Kodi to load the new keymap.
Copy directly to userdata folder
- Save the keymap you want to use as a plain text file as "keymap.xml" (it can be anything as long as it ends in .xml)
- Use a file manager of your choice, such as the one build into your OS, and copy this file to the userdata folder within the keymaps folder.
The Userdata folder is a subfolder of the Kodi Data Folder and is located as shown in the table below.
Operating system | Userdata Folder |
---|---|
Android | Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/ (see note) |
iOS | /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/Kodi/userdata/ |
LibreELEC | /storage/.kodi/userdata/ |
Linux | ~/.kodi/userdata/ |
macOS | /Users/<your_user_name>/Library/Application Support/Kodi/userdata/ |
Nvidia Shield (SMB) | smb://<nvidiashieldurl>/internal/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata |
OSMC | /home/osmc/.kodi/userdata/ |
tvOS | /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/Kodi/userdata/ |
webOS | /media/developer/apps/usr/palm/applications/org.xbmc.kodi/.kodi/userdata/ |
Windows | %APPDATA%\Kodi\userdata |
Windows Portable | <Install location chosen by you>\portable_data\userdata\ |
Windows via Microsoft Store | %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\XBMCFoundation.Kodi_4n2hpmxwrvr6p\LocalCache\Roaming\Kodi\ |
Windows Xbox | %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\XBMCFoundation.Kodi_4n2hpmxwrvr6p\LocalCache\Roaming\Kodi\ |
- Note: In some Android setups the path may be slightly different to the one stated above.
Volume and OSD
- What it does
- Disables mouse movement for fullscreen video and audio.
- Click anywhere to bring up the on-screen-controls, which will re-enable mouse movement.
- Note: You can right-click to manually hide the on-screen-controls instead of waiting for it to disappear.
- Scroll wheel controls volume when on fullscreen video or audio playback. <wheeldown> and <wheelup> can be moved to <global> if you want it to always control volume.
- Keymap
- Cut and paste the following into a new text document and save as NoMouseMove.xml and place in
userdata/keymaps/
<keymap> <Global> <mouse> <!-- <wheeldown>VolumeDown</wheeldown> --> <!-- Remove arrows to enable global volume control --> <!-- <wheelup>VolumeUp</wheelup> --> <!-- Remove arrows to enable global volume control --> </mouse> </Global> <FullScreenVideo> <mouse> <mousedrag>noop</mousedrag> <mousemove>noop</mousemove> <wheeldown>VolumeDown</wheeldown> <wheelup>VolumeUp</wheelup> </mouse> </FullScreenVideo> <VideoMenu> <mouse> <mousedrag>mousedrag</mousedrag> <mousemove>mousemove</mousemove> <wheeldown>VolumeDown</wheeldown> <wheelup>VolumeUp</wheelup> </mouse> </VideoMenu> <VideoOSD> <mouse> <mousedrag>mousedrag</mousedrag> <mousemove>mousemove</mousemove> <wheeldown>VolumeDown</wheeldown> <wheelup>VolumeUp</wheelup> </mouse> </VideoOSD> <Visualisation> <mouse> <mousedrag>noop</mousedrag> <mousemove>noop</mousemove> <wheeldown>VolumeDown</wheeldown> <wheelup>VolumeUp</wheelup> </mouse> </Visualisation> <MusicOSD> <mouse> <mousedrag>mousedrag</mousedrag> <mousemove>mousemove</mousemove> <wheeldown>VolumeDown</wheeldown> <wheelup>VolumeUp</wheelup> </mouse> </MusicOSD> </keymap>
Disable mouse
- What it does
- Completely disables mouse movement.
- Keymap
- Cut and paste the following into a new text document and save as NoMouseMove.xml and place in
userdata/keymaps/
<keymap> <global> <mouse> <mousedrag>noop</mousedrag> <mousemove>noop</mousemove> </mouse> </global> </keymap>
Live TV focused
- What it does
- Specifically used for LiveTV / IPTV.
- Middle wheel button stops channel playing, but more importantly, stops the "Working ... - Death Spin". - You can now use the EPG Guide to peruse the channels. Your Wheel will now move channels Up/Down vertically, instead of moving the timeline horizontally. - While in Fullscreen TV mode, a Left Click will bring up your previous channel.(only when bottom info display is not on screen) - Right Click gets rid of the Bottom Info Display (or it times out after ~5 sec.). Another Right Click will bring up the Channel List or EPG Guide, whichever one you use.
- Keymap
- Cut and paste the following into a new text document and save as LiveTVMouse.xml and place in
userdata/keymaps/
<keymap> <global> <mouse> <leftclick>leftclick</leftclick> <rightclick>rightclick</rightclick> <middleclick>Stop</middleclick> <doubleclick id="0">doubleclick</doubleclick> <longclick id="0">contextmenu</longclick> <wheeldown>wheeldown</wheeldown> <wheelup>wheelup</wheelup> <mousedrag>mousedrag</mousedrag> <mousemove>mousemove</mousemove> </mouse> </global> <TVGuide> <mouse> <wheelup>PageUp</wheelup> <wheeldown>PageDown</wheeldown> </mouse> </TVGuide> <FullscreenLiveTV> <mouse> <leftclick>Number0</leftclick> <rightclick>PreviousMenu</rightclick> </mouse> </FullscreenLiveTV> </keymap>
