Can't Map Keyboard - jokabomo - 2023-07-30

I have a RPi and am using HDMI CEC to control it. I am using the "Keymap Editor" plugin to map the colored keys on my remote. This works fine for everything but the NextPVR plugin.

For example, if in "Keymap Editor" I map the red key (which is listed as key "251") to "Global->Navigation->Context Menu", everywhere I press the red key the context menu pops up - except the NextPVR pages - for example the recordings list.

I've tried a bunch of other places, but no luck. How can I do this? My goal is to map one of the color keys on the remote (red, green, yellow, blue) to either the context menu or delete. Using CEC, there's no built-in way to delete a recording.

Thanks.

This won't be related to the addon.  However a global key won't override a sub group that has the keyboard keys specifically defined such as TVRecordings and TVTimers  https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master/system/keymaps/keyboard.xml#L220   I assume it works in TVChannels  and you need to make more modifications.

Thanks. Manually editing the keyboard.xml file worked.

xml:
<keymap>

        <global>

                <keyboard>

                        <key id="251">contextmenu</key>

                </keyboard>

        </global>

        <TVRecordings>

                <keyboard>

                        <key id="251">contextmenu</key>

                        <key id="254">delete</key>

                </keyboard>

        </TVRecordings>

</keymap>
