Yes, I did. I noticed that it saved the file in the "custom" directory, rather than "default". So I copied it back.

I think it makes things a lot easier if I simply edit the file with a text editor. This is the edit that I make:

Changing this:
[CODE]<button name="Mute" code="119">
<action layer="0" condition="*" conproperty="-1" command="ACTION" cmdproperty="9982" sound="click.wav" />
</button>[/CODE]
to this:
[CODE]<button name="Mute" code="83">
<action layer="0" condition="*" conproperty="-1" command="ACTION" cmdproperty="9982" sound="click.wav" />
</button>[/CODE]
Because I want it to transmit the 's' key when I hit the mute button.

Perhaps I simply need to know where Mediaportal will read it from.

Msg #57 says:

I haven't been using the "Update Mapping" button. I tried it and didn't see anything constructive that I could do, and since I couldn't find any help on it (in this thread), I figured perhaps I shouldn't muck with it.

But I don't have a directory
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal

I have Mediaportal installed here: e:\program files\MediaPortal
Where should Keyboard.xml reside? It's currently here:
e:\program files\MediaPortal\InputDeviceMappings\defaults
Once I make my edits, does some other file need to be updated?
