Hi! I was wondering if its possible to map the "Search" button in "View Options"? Went through all the possible mappable buttons but couldn't find it.

Went through all the possible mappable buttons but couldn't find it.I don't think I understand your question. Keymap Editor maps remote keys to Kodi functions (mostly remotes, but also keyboard mappings). It sounds like you are asking for a button in your skin to do something different. Keymap editor can't help with that.

Hi, pkscout. Awesome work taking on maintaining Keymap Editor. Is it possible to map Refresh Skin? I searched through all the categories and couldn't find it.

I searched through all the categories and couldn't find it.Unfortunately not from the add-on. That's a built in function and not an action id (which is what keymap editor maps). You can do it manually, but you'll have to add it back anytime you update the keymap from the addon. Here's an complete file example that maps ReloadSkin to F5. For you're existing xml file, you just need to add that F5 line in the right place (probably global/keyboard as shown).
xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<keymap>
<global>
<keyboard>
<F5>ReloadSkin()</F5>
</keyboard>
</global>
</keymap>

Hi everyone, I am a super newbie kodi user and I have a question for the Keymap Editor. I want this to happen when I select a movie:
1- In my Main Menu, I select one of my Smart Playlists, “Western”. OK.
2- In my Smart Playlist “Western”, I select the movie I want. OK.
3- When I click on the movie, it starts playing and I don’t want that. I want to make click on the movie and the Information Window to pop out. In that Info Page, I can decide whether I want to watch the movie or go back (just like Plex). To do this right now, I must press C on my keyboard and select the tab Information, so what I am asking for is a shortcut with the Keymap Editor.
My TV is a Samsung BN59-01311G and the remote has a few buttons, so I cannot keybind a new button for this specific action (that would be easy, Global, Navigation, ShowInfo = new remote button). I need different actions for the same button (the “ok” button, in the middle) depending on the currently active window.
I know that Keymap Editor have 3 steps: Window, Category and Action, and I only know what to select in the last one (Action = ShowInfo).
Please, any advice? Thank you.

I am not sure for your scenario, but i think you can select the default action on select via settings-media-videos. Look for 'default select action'

Hi Everyone,
In have Kodi on android tv (on nokia streaming box). In the video player the default behaviour for the Ok button (center button of remote) is short press -> show OSD, long press -> play/pause.
With keymap editor I changed the behaviour (in section Fullscreen Video - Playback), so press Ok (code 61453) -> play/pause, long press Ok (16838669) -> show OSD
However this doesn't work. Both press Ok and long press Ok now both play/pause video.
Does anyone has a clue?

Hi,
A couple of years back I bought an G20S RF remote for my Kodi box (PC/Generic) and it works perfectly. Recently, I bought a couple more. Also G20 models but "Pro" (more buttons/backlight/bluetooth). The new ones have an issue with the "OK" button not being recognised.
If I go into Keymap Editor, it does register the OK button but it is not the same five-digit format as the rest of the keys, it scans in as "016839168".
So, Global/Navigation/Select Item is set to 016839168 but doesn't work!
Apparently, this is something to do with the remote sending a "KEY_ENTER" instead of "KEY_OK"?
If Kodi is registering the button press there must surely be a way to map it to "Select"?
Any advice would be much appreciated!

had the same problem with the new G20s pro.
I used the keymap "riiminii7_Kodi17_mouse_support.xml" from this page:
https://lichtschattenblog.wordpress.com/...r-kodi-17/
Works for my G20s pro on libreelec 11, nightly build.

Hello guys,
First a special thanks to pkscout: Great work, great Plugin, did make my kodi so much better.... however i ran into a problem:
I have been using the Microsoft MCE remote (remote with infra receiver on USB) on my PC when running Kodi for quite a while now. As of late i have moved from a Linux Mint PC to an NVIDIA Shield.
Migrating my settings and stuff to the new OS works quite nicely. The remote too works under NVIDIA Shield as expected. The only problem im running into is that within Kodi the keys 0-9 of the
remote are not recognized anymore. Even with the Keymap Editor there is no code or command shown in "capture mode". In the Android TV the remote including the buttons 0-9 works fine, but when i go into Kodi the bottons 0-9 dont do anything anymore and i cant figure out why that is. I already tried and removed the gen.xml file but even than I cant get the keys 0-9 to map them to functions. Again all the other keys from the remote work fine.
Is there any way I can (re)activate the number pad of my remote in Kodi? Does anybody have a hint or an idea?

I can answer this. The problem is that Android, and/or the Shield specifically, doesn't have programming for more than a basic number of buttons. And the number buttons aren't in there. In other words, the Shield remote only has, like, 12 buttons on it (or whatever the number is). And the Shield is only programmed to receive 12 or so different frequencies (button pushes). It simply does not recognize any more than that. It's not the situation where it can recognize 30 button pushes, but only uses 12. It's only programmed to see those 12 button frequencies. I use a universal remote, and wanted to program some subtitle functions to have remote control buttons to turn subtitles on and off, switch between subtitles, etc. But the Shield only recognizes the basic (12 or so) commands: Menu wheel up-down-left-right, center button, play, pause, FF, REW, skip F, skip R, stop, etc. There aren't many 'free' buttons that you wouldn't use.
I'm not sure, but devices like a flirc might help, I haven't researched it enough to know how they work.
So for me, I gave up my wheel up and wheel down buttons when playing video. On the player screen, those buttons usually skip forward 10 minutes and skip back 10. I gave those up and use those for my subtitle commands. Unless there's a 3rd party option like a flirc, you'd have to do the same.
