I feel your pain. First off, for me IE11 is still using Silverlight (I'm in Canada), and due to that the key mappings are busted. I validated this by trying to use any keyboard shortcuts while using netflix in directly in IE (not using XBMC). the only thing that works for me is space and enter. I could not skip forward/back, etc.
I've switched to Chrome, for some reason that works with keyboard bindings. I've only got play/pause mapped to spacebar and skip forward/back mapped to right/left direction keys and it works pretty well.

I just want to say that this is an absolutely awesome extension that makes watching Netflix in XBMC a breeze and a pleasure. And I know that is not an easy thing to accomplish, since creating any kind of unofficial Netflix app is usually quite hard because of the DRM, Silverlight etc.
I especially like using this extension with IE 11 in Windows 8.1, as this transition is a lot smoother between XBMC and the browser - it starts up in full screen mode directly, and I *think* it is actually using Netflix's HTML 5 player that they have been working on with Microsoft. It almost looks like it is running directly in XBMC, you can't easily tell the stream is being shown in a full-screen browser window.
I have one problem though, the remote key mappings do not seem to work for me in IE11. For example, I have mapped the Play/Pause key to the play button on my MCE remote, which in reality sends a Ctrl+P keyboard shortcut. In Chrome this works fine to pause/resume the Netflix stream, but in IE11 this brings up the Print dialog!
Is there a way to get the key control utility working correctly for IE11 (i.e. bypass the built-in IE keyboard shortcuts)? I am willing to get my hands dirty and help debug/write some code if that will help as well...
