On Screen log message position - csvke - 2019-10-22
How can I change the position of the overlaying text of log position?
I want to put it at the lower right hand corner.

you can't, i'm afraid.
the debug info is fully handled by kodi itself and can't be controlled by the skin.

Thanks.
Then just to follow up, can I present a keyboard shortcut to toggle it on / off?

sure,
ToggleDebug should do the trick.https://kodi.wiki/view/List_of_built-in_functions#Application_built-in.27s

Thanks.
I have added a keyboard.xml from userdata folder, where to save / find the .xml file is here for various Kodi platforms.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<keymap>
<global>
<keyboard>
<F5>ReloadSkin()</F5>
<F6>ToggleDebug</F6>
<F7>Skin.ToggleDebug</F7>
<F8>Notification(Testing 123,Hello world)</F8>
</keyboard>
</global>
</keymap>
For those who are keen to develop / tweak skin, I think it's a great tip to provide debug messages live on Kodi.
(I personally find it a bit difficult to find useful information and the wiki is a bit outdated - but otherwise great)
