i tried for a while to create a keymap.xml in the style of plex but had no luck. unless i'm not understanding something properly the keymap.xml from my user folder does not work. anyways, in the end i just edited the keymap.xml inside the xbmc app and now have something which navigates through the video library and full screen videos in the same way as plex which i find slightly more logical.
i figured this may be of use to some of those users migrating from plex or just people in general.

To use, download the following file and extract to your userdata folder. My userdata folder does not pick up any keymap placed there. If you're experiencing the same then extract to Applications/XBMC/Contents/Resources/XBMC/System/. Warning: The second method will require you to re-download and apply the keymap each time you upgrade XBMC.
Keymap.zip Please Right Click, Download Linked File As, Save as Keymap.xml and once downloaded remove the .html extension to avoid any problems.
