I'm on an iPhone 6 Plus, jailbroken and on the latest nightly build of Kodi.

I'm having an issue where my Keyboard.XML file is ignored after backgrounding Kodi and then bringing it back into focus. It's a simple remapping of the "Play/Pause" button to Select, and the "b" button to go Back, and it's used with a bluetooth remote as the remote has no enter or back button.

Here's my keyboard.xml:

<keymap>
<global>
<keyboard>
<b>Back</b>
<return>Select</return>
<enter>Select</enter>
<play_pause>Select</play_pause>
</keyboard>
</global>
</keymap>


In the Log you can see that my modified Keyboard.XML file has "b" mapped to the "Back" action. It works initially (and is logged), but when I change the focus to the Home Screen, and then back to Kodi, it doesn't register in the log. The arrow keys work fine after bringing Kodi back from the background because they are not remapped in the Keyboard.XML file.

I would love some help on this, as right now I have to restart Kodi every time it's backgrounded to read a text/get directions/ect.

Also, I've tried the KeyMap program addon with the same result.

Thanks!

are we talking about a bluetooth keyboard here?

It's actually a BT Remote (Satechi), but yes it's recognized and acts as a BT Keyboard.

I was just wondering if there have been any updates to this, or if it's been recognized and on a roadmap. It's currently a huge holdup in my setup.

Thanks!

Are any default keys working other than the arrow keys when you come back from backgrounding?

Thanks for the help - No other default keys other than the arrow keys work when coming back from backgrounding.

You can see in the below debug log that I was able to press "return" along with the Number keys before backgrounding, but aftewards only the arrow keys were working:
