Running xbmcbuntu gotham 13.2 remote vrc-1100

This remote is in the kodi.wiki .This remote worked out of the box and still works , My concern is , is there any updated information to modify some of the unused buttons on the remote . I see the full tutorial for setting up the (lirc) for the remote . but all of the forum post about the remote are a few years old and the kodi.wiki. I am new to linux/xbmc , what i dont understand is why would the remote need to be fully programmed with lirc when it already works , since it already works is there a way to modify it vs going through a full program through lirc ? I have found one post http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=131668 where a user modifies the keyboard.xml file since this remote can be recognized as a usb keyboard , i've tried in the above older post without success. Any advice would be greatly appreciated ,
on newer kernels (incl xbmcbuntu 13) this remote is seen as keyboard by default. So you can simply apply keyboard mappings via keyboard.xml. http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Modify_keyboard.xml
I am also interested in getting this remote to work a bit better under xbmcbuntu gotham 13.2 on my MythTV box, so if you crack this one and can post a keymap with get the I key (info) working I would be happy :-)
