Archive:MINIX A2

This is the MINIX NEO A2 Remote. It has a full QWERTY keyboard on the back, which allows the use of the Search function in KODI. As much as we would like every button to work 'out of the box', we need to make changes to the keymaps files for several of the front facing buttons This task is necessary for the majority of RF remotes on the market. Keystrokes sent were discovered by enabling KODI's debugging feature, and monitoring the debug log The Actions associated with each button are completely within the user's discretion. The example keymaps shown are only one possible permutation

keyboard.xml (additions)

If there are multiple keymap entries for the same key name, the last entry wins.
I recommend placing manual entries at the end of the <keyboard> stanza inside <global>

This saves us the effort of finding and editing the original key assignment

     ....
     <F2>NextSubtitle</F2>
     <home>AudioNextLanguage</home>
     <return>SendClick(8)</return>
     <F1>Stop</F1>

     <next_track>PageDown</next_track>
