Kodi keymap.xml not doing anything

Post by warriorofthelight »

I've created a Kodi keymap in ~/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/keymap.xml , but it doesn't do anything at all. It's like it doesn't exist.
I'm using Mint 20.3 and latest Kodi from the repo, see attachments.

The way I know the keymap doesn't work is: it should block the displaying of the controls during full screen playback when the mouse moves, it should remap the ctrl-left+right and ctrl-shift-left+right keys to subtitle delay and audio delay, but none of these work. All is working like default settings indicate: mouse move will display the controls, and ctrl-left+right are skipping the video, ctrl -shift the same.

I should say that the ~/.kodi folder did not exist, I had to create it manually. Maybe there's another location? I couldn't find anything.

Anybody any ideas what I could do?
