Running on ubuntu 12.04, AMD fusion platform, installed from minimal as described in the thread somewhere here on the forum.
Using some cheap MCE clone remote and one of the keys makes XBMC go into windowed mode.
The problem is, i can only get to full screen via the menu and XBMC is very slow until i restart X.

In debug mode i got this:

Code:

Tried to override that key via user keyboard.xml file:

Code:

<keymap>
  <global>
    <keyboard>
      <alt-leftalt>noop</alt-leftalt>
    </keyboard>
  </global>
</keymap>

It didn't work. How do I disable this key?

From your log snippet, it looks like alt-leftalt is doing nothing, which is what you desire, isn't it?

Code:

18:47:33 T:139789379725184   DEBUG: OnKey: alt-leftalt (4f0d4) pressed, action is

What happens is that XBMC switches to windowed mode. so it is doing something.

[artrafael]

Are you positive that remote button is sending the alt-leftalt key press? By default, the key used to toggle fullscreen/windowed mode is the backslash key ( \ ).

Or is it doing something like alt-tab and switching from xbmc to whatever is running in the background?

Do you have the option 'remote control sends keyboard presses' enabled - I believe you should for a MCE remote.

Try binding a notification to the key id code and see if that works:

Code:

<keymap>
  <global>
    <keyboard>
      <key id=323796>Notification(Keypress,You pressed the key, 3)</key>
    </keyboard>
  </global>
</keymap>

@artrafael
tried disabling backslah via keyboard.xml, no luck, suppose it's not the case

@Kibje
yes, 'remote control sends keyboard presses' is enabled, but the remote works the same without that option.

@nickr
You could be on to something here...
Installed evtest, gives more info on the key presses than debug from XBMC, here is the short version:

Seems to be alt-tab, and twice?
I don't have anything else running, no window manager, just lightdm.
Is there any way to disable alt-tab, googling around didn't prove useful.
