I use a micocontroller that emulates a keyboard. Attached to the microcontroller is a rotary encoder that sends a - (minus) keypress when it's turned left, and a + keypress when it is turned right. (the + key next to the backspace button)
The goal is to control the volume in XBMC. But right now the - key works, but the + key doesn't.

When I turn the encoder to the right the microcontroller sends this keypress:



I have tried editing the system keyboard.xml like this:

<equals mod="shift">VolumeUp</equals>

But it doesn't work. How can I map this in keyboard.xml ?

It won't work I'm afraid. XBMC reserves the shift modifier for searching in lists e.g. if you press shift-J the selection will jump to the first title starting with J. There is no way to override this.

Ok so I have to reprogram the microcontroller for it to work, thanks

Edit, reprogrammed the controller from + to = and now it works!
