I'm trying to remap the "o" (as in omega) key from the CodecInfo to showvideomenu command.
Pre-Dharma I handled this by Ctrl+F finding and replacing CodecInfo with showvideomenu with the keymap.xml file. Since upgrading to Dharma and reading current threads it's suggested that I create a keyboard.xml file in my AppData userdata/keymaps folder (I'm not using portable mode).
This keyboard.xml file contains:
Unfortunately my userdata/keymaps keyboard.xml file is not overriding the system/keymaps keyboard.xml file. I also used "ShowVideoMenu." Trying the keymap editor on http://xbmcmce.sourceforge.net/ did not solve the problem. Presssing the "o" key results in the CodecInfo being displayed, instead of showing the video menu as intended. Instead of showvideomenu I tried other commands (i.e. Pause) that also did not replace CodecInfo.
Running debug mode confirmed the location of my AppData directory:
NOTICE: special://masterprofile/ is mapped to: C:\Documents and Settings\Ryan\Application Data\XBMC\userdata
...and the CodecInfo command:
DEBUG: CApplication::OnKey: 61519 pressed, action is CodecInfo
How can I edit the "o" key to use showvideomenu?
