Just wondering if anyone has come up with a way to do this.

No before you think why would you use it sideways, I lie on the couch watching TV and often have the remote near my hand and it gets used sideways while I am lying down. If this remote turns off the downward facing keys, then I need to know how it responds to being used sideways.
Is there a simple guide to getting it to work with live/freaks or openelec installs. I have never delved into the xml file for setting up a remote. I see you assign a key ID to a keyboard keystroke, but how do you get the key id?

What i would like to know however is if there is a way to change the CAPS key to SHIFT instead as previously mentioned to make my browsing a little easier.
The rest of the remote seems to work quite well although the play/pause button is not recognised in Windows 7 however i do not really need this as i have the enter button on the front to start/stop my movies. Is there a way to map this lunch xbmc.exe?
Thanking in advance,
Sprite

I use the following to find the keypresses: http://voxcommando.com/forum/index.php?topic=104.0;wap2
and map them to these commands:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Keymap.xml
and put them in keyboard.xml located:
/storage/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps
This is the file I use to give it the same functionality as an Apple Remote (i.e. change the volume using the up and down arrow etc.)
<keymap>
<global>
<keyboard>
<key id="61467">ParentDir</key>
</keyboard>
</global>
<FullscreenVideo>
<keyboard>
<key id="61453">Pause</key>
<key id="61480">VolumeDown</key>
<key id="61478">VolumeUp</key>
<key id="61467">Stop</key>
</keyboard>
</FullscreenVideo>
</keymap>
The only thing I havent figured out is if you can do long presses. Also, as I am a Linux noob, there might be a better method.
