Is there any way to get XBMC to re-read the userdata/keymaps/keymap.xml file without rebooting/restarting (e.g doe reloading the skin do it?)

Would be very helpful for tweaking remote keys!

Bumping an age old thread as an answer would be super handy!

Not in Dharma. In Eden (including the current nightlies) you can trigger a reload by connecting or disconnecting a remote control.

A receiver I guess you mean?

Might be nice to add it as a callable function so you can bind it to a key to make it super simple.

But great to know it's there, and thanks!

Been searching for exactly the same and finally found it!!

xbmc.executebuiltin('Action(reloadkeymaps)')

Obvious when you know how!!

and if you want to do it from your remote itself, this works:

<seven>XBMC.Action(reloadkeymaps)</seven>

(changing the seven to your appropriate key of course...)
