I gather that your remote buttons are mapped to key presses and that your info button is mapped to 'Ctrl+G'. Generally this key combination is what is mapped to the 'Guide' button which defaults to bringing up the navigation controls (play, pause, seek etc.) when playing a video. There is no need to change what keypress the remote is mapped to because we can just change what that keypress combination does instead.
What we need to do is use a text editor like notepad to edit your custom keyboard.xml in the userdata/keymaps directory (on linux it is ~/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps/keyboard.xml on windows it is %appdata%\XBMC\userdata\keymaps\keyboard.xml).
I'm guessing that under <VideoOSD> in the <keyboard> section - Ctrl+G is going to be set to 'Back' when you want it to be set to 'Info'. Either that or its not there at all which means it goes to the default which is 'Back'. If it is there, simply change it to be <g mod="ctrl">Info</g> and save and restart xbmc.
If its missing from the videoosd section then add it in -- i.e. <g mod="ctrl">Info</g>
If there isn't a videoosd section at all then add it in under the <keyboard> section as such:
