Hi, thanks for this great Add-ON. I am trying to map virtual keyboard presses of ALT + F4 onto a MCE remote button ('record' being my preference), and I am trying different ways of doing so. However, whenever I press ALT + F4 to 'teach' Keymap Editor this behaviour Kodi (and Keyboard Editor) are of course closed. Is there a way around this paradox?

You could always fall back on editing the keymap file directly. See this for how to find/edit the keymap file:

See this for all the keynames and actions that you can use in your keymap file:

Great work on bringing this add on to Matrix!, really appreciate it.
I have a little query and it's kept me on for hours to figure it out... tried lots of different ways using the keymap guides on forums without success.
I use matrix on a windows 10 build. What I'm trying to do is edit one of my remote control buttons to simulate an OS level command - Ctrl+Shift+B
In the keymap xml file its currently assigned to the below example and works fine. I wonder if its possible to replace the function of the key to simulate the above windows command, and if anyone could help with an example code, it would be a greatly appreciated.
<key id="254">runaddon(plugin.video.youtube)</key>
Alternatively, if not possible, is there a way to have the key function execute an OS system shortcut or batch file perhaps?
Cheers.
