I am trying to find a way to map filter to keyboard.

According to an outdated thread, it was possible with 

<f>filter</f>

but it no longer works.

Check the whole keymap file for errors, or post it for somebody else to check as filter works fine for me.

Oh great, I didn't see anything in the log, I just tought it no longer worked since it was an old post and didn't find anything recent about it.

What happens when you press filter key binding? Does the left panel popup and focuse on the filter field?

[Boresk]

Nevermind,

I've tested out in a new kodi instance.

Is this the global search function? IIt doesn't work for me in artic z reloaded skin. Perhaps it is the slyguy global search+ addon that breaks it. Will try to remove and mention the result

For some reason, the keybinding works in addons (for searching addons) but it doesn't work in video.

In addons I get this:

Code:


 HandleKey: f (0xf046) pressed, window 10040, action is filter

But in video I get this:

I've made a fresh kodi install with artic zephyr and I still have this problem. I've opened an issue here:

Note that the keymaps file has different sections.

There is a generic one, but there are sections for specific areas of Kodi and if you are in one of those, those settings will override the generic ones.
So you may need to set or tweak what you've set up where within the file.

[Boresk]

You mean like Global, fullscreenvideo and such? I've removed all <f> keymaps and also tried mod ctrl,but it doesn't work. Plus the log does mention action filter on f keypress. It works on vanilla kodi but it stops working when I just add the artic zephyr skin.

[Boresk]

Note: By removing <f> keymap, I mean I have left them empty ( <f></f> )

[DarrenHill]

I'm not sure what leaving them empty will do.

If you want them to explicitly do nothing, the action is "noop" (no operation).

Also if adding the skin is breaking it, check if the skin has its own keymap or similar which is further overwriting your own mod one.
