Hi,
I've serched the forum for thread regarding such a feature. The closest one i've found is this: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=124162
Somewhere down the line calev suggests the exact feature I most miss in XBMC, but because of the main subject of the thread i don't think due atention has been paid. Please correct me if i've should not have posted a new trhead or if it should have been somewhere else on the forum.
Basically, I believe XBMC lacks a more userfriendly way of setting up a remote controls. Editing keymap files, specially in linux where we have to jump trhough extra hoops to be able to copy a new file to XBMC's folder is really painfull today. It would be really great if there was a GUI for mapping keys of remotes, gamepads, etc, from inside XBMC itself, much like any console emulator does.
I'm not a developer, so I don't know if this is too complex to implement, but it would certanly improve XBMC's userfriendlyness.
Best regards,
