I am trying to map 2 keys on my remote in XBMC, I have created a remote.xml file in the userdata/keymaps folder which looks like this:

Code:

<keymap>
    <FullScreenVideo>
        <remote>
            <leftshift>SubtitleDelayPlus</leftshift>
            <rightshift>SubtitleDelayMinus</rightshift>
        </remote>
    </FullScreenVideo>
</keymap>

But I can't find the right names of the god damn keys!
I turned on debug logging, and get this output when in fullscreenvideo mode:

Code:

15:46:22 T:140630434211648   DEBUG: LIRC: Update - NEW at 7508716:193 0 KEY_CHANNELDOWN devinput (KEY_CHANNELDOWN)

15:46:22 T:140630434211648   DEBUG: OnKey: leftshift (d2) pressed, action is PageUp

What are the names of my keys? As you can see, I've tried rightshift and leftshift. I've also tried PageUp and PageDown. I think I've tried CHANNELUP and CHANNELDOWN too (can't really remember, fiddled with this last week).
What am I doing wrong? I know this can work, I had it all set up like this before my HTPC crashed.

EDIT:
Okay I took a look inside the official remote.xml and found this part:

<pageplus>PageUp</pageplus>
<pageminus>PageDown</pageminus>

Since the debug is saying that it is trying to exec PageUp and PageDown, I suppose it must be those two buttons called "pageplus" and "pageminus" that I am looking for. Gonna test it in a minute.
Even if it works, I would like to know why the debug log doesn't say anything about pageplus and pageminus? How are you supposed to find out the names of the buttons then?

EDIT2: It worked. Yey! Anyway, still, how do you find out the names of the buttons that you want to map?

Keys such as Shift, Ctrl and Alt are modifiers and can't be mapped per se. However, you can map key sequences that include these modifiers, such as:

Code:

<f1 mod="ctrl">
<one mod="alt">
<f2 mod="ctrl,alt">

However, with the Shift key, it appears this key can only be used in conjunction with another modifier key. So,

Code:

<e mod="shift,alt">

works, but

Code:

<e mod="shift">

doesn't.

EDIT2: It worked. Yey! Anyway, still, how do you find out the names of the buttons that you want to map?

• List of XBMC keynames
  
• Or enable debug logging, press key(s) on keyboard/remote, exit XBMC, look in the debug log (wiki) to see how XBMC identified the keypress(es)

Sorry, but I think that you misunderstood my problem.
I am trying to re-map my remote, not my keyboard.

The list you linked is for keyboard.xml, not remote.xml. Also, I did post the debug log as you can see, but I can't read the correct names from it. The correct was pageplus and pageminus, the debug log don't mention those.
