Can someone point me in the direction of a simple way to remap my remote buttons? I remember on windows it was simple registry edit to change for instance, the green mce button to send a command like ctr+F. It was a simple code 0000ba3d or something similar where each number represented a letter or number and a modifier. Is there anything like that for liunx? Everything works pretty much perfectly but the back button on my remote sends a "return" signal. I would instead like it to send a "Backspace" command. Looking at the lirc.conf file it shows that next to each command about a 12 digit hex code. I am wondering if I can modify that code or put that code somewhere else. There is also no keyboard.xml file present. I am running Ubuntu 12.10 with Frodo RC3. I have Lirc installed. I have looked at many of the guides online and they seem either dated for XBMC 9 or an older version of Linux and all seem very complicated. I am looking for a simple solution. Thank you.

After much playing around with keyboard.xml and lirc.xml I was able to get most of the buttons to work properly. For some reason adding the settings in Global did not change them everywhere and had to add them in their respective areas. Only issue I am having is when trying to go from a minimized window to fullscreen. In lirc.xml I have <backslash>KEY_HOME</backslash> and under global remote settings I have <backslash>ToggleFullScreen</backslash>.
Any thoughts?

From wiki -
Keyboard.xml is a XML base keymap file that define the mappings of keys (keyboard keys, mouse/remote/joysticks buttons and more) to XBMC actions...
From a few of the guides I was reading, you find the key modifier and input it in lirc.xml to the command you want ie. <enter>KEY_OK</enter> and input that command into keyboard.xml ie <enter>*XBMC Command*</enter>
