My question is why you change the behavior when pressing the power button on the remote. Because before the PR it was already working, without a keymap file. 

I didn't change the behaviour of the power key, the kodi default is to show the shutdown menu.

Previous versions had a bug that would unconditionally shutdown your system when you press the power button and prevented kodi from reacting on it at all. So people coudn't get to the shutdown menu at all and kodi couldn't initiate a graceful shutdown as it should.

so long,
