Keymaps are XML base files that define the mappings of keys (keyboard keys, mouse/remote/joysticks buttons and more) to Kodi actions.

Customizing keymaps through the GUI

Main page: Add-on:Keymap Editor

Users can customize keymaps for remotes in GUI by using the community Keymap Editor add-on.

Location of keymaps

User modified keymap files must be stored in the "keymaps" folder in the userdata 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)
Flatpak ~/.var/app/tv.kodi.Kodi/data/userdata
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.


Defaults

Default keymaps are included when Kodi is installed, but users should not edit those install files directly. Instead, place user modified keymaps in the userdata/keymaps/ directory.

Kodi can process multiple keymap files and does so like this:

  • All *.xml files from the default install settings and userdata/keymaps/ folders are applied as keymaps.
  • All *.xml files are processed in alphabetical order.
  • Keymaps defined in an .xml file add to or override mappings in previous .xml file.
  • Keymaps defined in the userdata folder add to or override mappings in the global keymap.

By default there will be no files in these locations, so grab one from the link below to make a new one/over-ride:

Structure

There is one global keymap and several window-specific keymaps.
Kodi falls back to the global map when the window-specific map hasn't bound the key being pressed.

The format of keymapping files is as follows: 

<keymap>
  <global>
    <gamepad>
      <A>Select</A>
      [...]
    </gamepad>

    <remote>
      <select>Select</select>
      [...]
    </remote>

    <keyboard>
      <enter>Select</enter>
      [...]
    </keyboard>

    <mouse>
      <leftclick>Select</leftclick>
      [...]
    </mouse>

    <universalremote>
      <obc25>ActivateWindow(MyMusic)</obc25>
      [...]
    </universalremote>

    <joystick name="PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller (00:1B:FB:F6:E0:F2)">
      <button id="15">Select</button>
      [...]
    </joystick>
  </global>

  <Home>
    [...]
  </Home>

  [...]

</keymap>

As you can see, it's divided into a <global> section, and a number of window sections (such as <Home>).
A list of the available window names can be seen here. The WINDOW can also be a custom window formatted as <windowId#> (e. g. <window1113>).
Each of these sections can contain Gamepad, Remote, Keyboard, Universal Remote, and custom Joystick sections.

The format for mapping a particular key under one of these device types is as follows: 

  <keyname>action</keyname>

Keynames

Depending on your device you will need to use a specific "keyname".

Gamepads

An up to date list of the available actions can be found in the source code of Kodi in ButtonTranslator.cpp where the TranslateGamepadString() function does the work.

Example: 

<gamepad>
  <A>Select</A>
</gamepad>

Remotes

An up to date list of IR-remote button names can be found in the source code of Kodi IRTranslator.cpp. See the method TranslateString().

The available actions are discussed in section Actions.

Note: Some remotes (e.g. FLIRC) are actually seen as "keyboards". Those will need to use the <keyboard> tag instead.

Example: 

<remote> 
  <play>Play</play>
</remote>

Universal Remotes

To map Universal Remote buttons using the RCA infrared protocol, you may add <universalremote> sections to keymap.xml.
In this case, the tags used are <obc#> where # is the original button code (OBC) of the button.
You would put it inside a <universalremote> section in the <window> or <global> sections.

Example: 

<universalremote> 
  <obc148>Stop</obc148>
</universalremote>
Will map Stop Playback to the RCA DVD repeat button <obc148>, which is not used by Kodi by default.
  • Note: ensure that the <universalremote> section is NOT added 'within' the <remote> section - it can appear before or after. Otherwise it will not be recognised and produces errors in the logfile.

Remote keys can be observed in the kodi.log file (~/.kodi/temp/kodi.log on Linux) when debugging is enabled in the GUI (Settings -> debugging ). The list of pre-defined OBC codes can be found at XBIRRemote.h.

Keyboards

Valid keyboard keymap syntax includes <keyname>, <key id="">, and <keyname mod="">.

Mapping for arbitrary key codes can be configured using the following syntax: 

<key id="123">

where "123" is replaced by the key code.

A full list of valid keynames can be found in

Example: 

<keyboard>
  <key id="123">action</key> -- id is the keys keycode. >
  <a mod="shift,alt">action</a> -- corresponds to shift-alt-a, the mod="" syntax is enabled since build 26407. >
  <space>action</space> -- for a complete list of valid keynames, see ButtonTranslator.cpp or List of Kodi keynames above. >
</keyboard>
Modifiers
  • shift
  • alt
  • ctrl

Mouse

As this highly depends on the mouse you are using and which kind of buttons are available, we only mention the most common buttons on a mouse: 

<keymap>
  <mouse>
    <global>
      <leftclick>...</leftclick>
      <middleclick>...</middleclick>
      <rightclick>...</rightclick>
      <wheelup>...</wheelup>
      <wheeldown>...</wheeldown>
    </global>
  </mouse>
</keymap>

Example for changing the volume while on MusicOSD (On Screen Display) window using the mouse wheel 

<keymap>
  <MusicOSD>
    <mouse>
      <wheeldown>VolumeDown</wheeldown>
      <wheelup>VolumeUp</wheelup>
    </mouse>
  </MusicOSD>
</keymap>


Custom Joystick Configuration

See HOW-TO:Modify_joystick.xml.

Long-press

Note: Longpress seems to only be working on keyboard keymaps at the moment Depending on the device, many remotes, keyboards, and gamepads can use the long-press modifier. This allows a button to do a separate action when held for a short period of time. The syntax for this is as follows: 

<button mod="longpress">action</button>

Not all devices will correctly work with the longpress action, but most should.

Note: Long-press will disable keyrepeat for that key/window.

Removing a long-press action from a default keymap

If you want to simply remove a long-press action, rather than override it, you can place an empty long-press tag in a keymap. This also has the effect of re-enabling keyrepeat for the short-press action.

For example, this will remove the context menu action from the default keyboard.xml keymap: 

<keymap>
  <global>
    <keyboard>
      <return mod="longpress"></return>
      <enter mod="longpress"></enter>
    </keyboard>
  </global>
</keymap>

Commands

The most recent available actions can be found in ActionIDs.h.

For those debugging integer action codes from the debug log, the mapping of action codes to constants is in Key.h

In addition to the following actions, you can also use Built-in scripting in Kodi.

GUI built-in's

Function Description Version
Action(action[,window]) Executes an action (same as in keymap) for the given window or the active window if the parameter window is omitted. The parameter window can either be the window's id, or in the case of a standard window, the window's name. See Action IDs for a list of available actions.
ActivateWindow(window[,dir,return]) Opens the given window. The parameter window can either be the window's id, or in the case of a standard window, the window's name. See Window IDs for a list of window names, and their respective ids. If, furthermore, the window is Music, Video, Pictures, or Program files, then the optional dir parameter specifies which folder Kodi should default to once the window is opened. This must be a source as specified in sources.xml, or a subfolder of a valid source. For some windows (MusicLibrary and VideoLibrary), the return parameter may be specified, which indicates that Kodi should use this folder as the "root" of the level, and thus the "parent directory" action from within this folder will return the user to where they were prior to the window activating.
ActivateWindowAndFocus(id1, id2,item1, id3,item2) Activate window with id1, first focus control id2 and then focus control id3. if either of the controls is a container, you can specify which item to focus (else, set it to 0). v12 Addition
AlarmClock(name,command,[time,silent,loop]) Pops up a dialog asking for the length of time (mm:ss) for the alarm (unless the parameter time is specified), and starts a timer. When the timer runs out, it'll execute the built-in command (the parameter command) if it is specified, otherwise it'll pop up an alarm notice. Add silent to hide the alarm notification. Add loop for the alarm to execute the command each time the specified time interval expires. If defining the last optional parameters (silent and loop) both have to be defined for any to take effect. The parameter "time" accepts an integer value (in minutes) or a timestring in the format "hh:mm:ss" or "mm min".
CancelAlarm(name[,silent]) Cancel a running alarm. Set silent to true to hide the alarm notification.
ClearProperty(key[,id]) Clears a window property for the current focused window/dialog(key), or the specified window (key,id).
Dialog.Close(dialog[,force]) Close a dialog. Set force to true to bypass animations. Use (all,true) to close all opened dialogs at once.
NextChannelGroup Navigate to the next PVR channel group (in DialogPVRChannelsOSD.xml) v13 Addition
NextStereoMode Changes the stereo mode of the GUI to the next available mode. v13 Addition

PreviousStereoMode Changes the stereo mode of the GUI to the previous available mode. v13 Addition
RefreshRSS Reload RSS feeds from RSSFeeds.xml
ReplaceWindow(window,dir) Replaces the current window with the given window. This is the same as ActivateWindow() but it doesn't update the window history list, so when you go back from the new window it will not return to the previous window, rather will return to the previous window's previous window.
ReplaceWindowAndFocus(id1, id2,item1, id3,item2) Replace window with id1, first focus control id2 and then focus control id3. if either of the controls is a container, you can specify which item to focus (else, set it to 0). v13 Addition
Resolution Change Kodi's Resolution.

Main page: Window IDs

This table cross-references Window names, Window definitions, and Window ID.

Code that performs the cross-reference is found on Github as follows:

Github Logo.png Master Branch - WindowTranslator.cpp
Github Logo.png Master Branch - WindowsIDs.h


  • keymap.xml uses the Window name.
  • Kodi's C++ code uses the Window definitions and Window ID's.
  • ActivateWindow() should use the Window name.
  • sounds.xml should use the window name

You can use secondary parameters with all media windows, as can be seen here:
