How do I remap keys?

How do I remap the keys on the keyboard to make them do what I want them to do?

e.g.
1. I want the "Backspace" key to go to the previous screen instead of ESC.
2. I ideally would like my Logitech S510 keyboard's media buttons to work inside Media Portal (Play, Pause, Stop, Next Track, Previous Track, etc.) for their applicable function.

Maybe just open keymap.xml in an editor and play around in there?

I have no aversions to editing the code - I just need to know where to start here...

Try Mediaportal Setup application General > Key and Sounds. Then remap to your hearts content.

Use the Configuration.exe

General -> Key & Sounds
