I've looked for this but I can't find anything so I'm recklessly assuming this is not a FAQ. On my own head be it. 
I'm messing around with the keymap editor extension to get this remote working with Kodi:
I'm slowly winning, but it's weird - for some reason the 'OK' button is not mapped to the 'Enter' button function; the 'Back arrow' button is not mapped to backspace, et cetera. Not what I expected.
It has no 'info' button so I mapped the magnifying glass button to do that, and it has no 'stop' button so I mapped the 'play/pause' button to do that using the 'longpress' feature:
So far so good, and this all works fine, but there's still a lot to do, and it's also a bit of a pain that these key mappings have to be done separately for different features (video, fullscreen video, live tv, etc.). Yet this is a fairly common remote and I simply can't be the the only one trying to get it to work properly. So I'm reinventing the wheel here.
Is there any repository of keymap files for popular remotes somewhere? Doing this once and then sharing the results would make sense, especially given the community-oriented character of Kodi.
So what am I missing?
