Getting a USB MCE remote to do what I want it to.

I bought a cheapo IRF Media W-01RN based remote + USB IR receiver the other day and I'm very pleased to see that 95% of the functionality works out of the box with Rasplex! :) 

There are a few buttons on the remote that i'd like to remap: i've got a bunch of useless buttons (FM Radio? Really?) and I'd like to map one of them to the ContextMenu.

 

Now, my understanding of USB MCE Remotes is that they are in fact seen by the OS as a USB keyboard, and send specific key combinations for various bits and bobs. 

 

So if I want to customise the keyboard mappings, do i copy remote.xml or keyboard.xml to the ~/.plexht/userdata/keymaps directory? I've tried keyboard.xml so far, made my modifications, but they don't seem to be taking.

 

RasPlex:~/.plexht/userdata/keymaps # ls 

keyboard.xml

 

For reference, what I'm trying to change is this:

 

ContextMenu       

FirstPage

 

Ctrl-A is the My FM button.

 

Any ideas?
