Alternative keymaps for most remotes
|
Alternative keymaps for most remotes, as suggested by the community. This includes MCE/RC6 type remote controls.
Keymap 1 - SmallStepBack
- Cut and paste the following into a new text document and save as remote.xml and place in
userdata/keymaps/
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<keymap>
<FullscreenVideo>
<remote>
<back>seek(-7)</back>
</remote>
<keyboard>
<back>seek(-7)</back>
<backspace>seek(-7)</backspace>
<escape>seek(-7)</escape>
</keyboard>
</FullscreenVideo>
</keymap>
- What it does
- Back durning full screen playback is changed to SmallStepBack (-7 seconds)
Keymap 2 - stop a video when backing out of it
- Cut and paste the following into a new text document and save as remote.xml and place in
userdata/keymaps/
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<keymap>
<FullscreenVideo>
<remote>
<back>stop</back>
</remote>
<keyboard>
<back>stop</back>
<backspace>stop</backspace>
<escape>stop</escape>
</keyboard>
</FullscreenVideo>
</keymap>
- What it does
- Back durning full screen playback will stop the video and return you to the file/library lists.
Keymap 3 - move cursor on keyboard instead of buttons
Note: As of Kodi v15, you can use Tab ⇆ to toggle between selecting keys on the on-screen-keyboard and moving the cursor.
- Cut and paste the following into a new text document and save as remote.xml and place in
userdata/keymaps/
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<keymap>
<virtualkeyboard>
<keyboard>
<left>CursorLeft</left>
<right>CursorRight</right>
</keyboard>
</virtualkeyboard>
</keymap>
- What it does
- Left/right arrow keys will move the cursor when entering text with the on-screen-keyboard, rather than select different keyboard buttons. This restores the behavior previously seen when "Remote sends keyboard presses" was turned off.
