I've also asked about this before, but nobody seems to know the answer. One of the devs must know!

However, as in the case of user fltk who has an iMON device, which basically acts like a keyboard, you can customize behavior by editing iMON settings and/or MePo key settings (not Remote settings).

Here are two examples from my setup.

Ex 1. Configure iMON to send a keypress to MePo:
MePo uses "s" to change the Zoom mode during video. In order to enable the Zoom function with my MCE remote, I set iMON to send keypress "s" (very easy).

iMON Manager > Settings > Program Command > MediaPortal
> Function = "Zoom Mode" ; shortcut = "s" ; RC button name = Live TV (This button was not used otherwise.)
On the remote I put a small label by the button to indicate the Zoom function.

Ex 2. Configure MePo to use a different key for a function:
In Fullscreen Video by default MePo uses Down Arrow and Up Arrow to do Big Step Backward (23) and Big Step Forward (22). This was hurting WAF due to accidental keypresses jumping the video position. Changing this function required editing both MePo and iMON.

I decided to reassign these functions to "," and "." On my regular keyboard these keys also have symbols "<" and ">".

Step A: MediaPortal Config > General > Keys and Sounds > Windows > Fullscreen Video specific actions (2005)
> Big Step Backward (23) --> key = ","
> Big Step forward (22) --> key = "."
Also made this same edit in section Fullscreen TVs (602).

Step B: iMON Manager > Settings > Program Command > MediaPortal
> Function = "Big Backward" ; shortcut = "," ; RC button name = Replay (key looks like |< on remote)
> Function = "Big Forward" ; shortcut = "." ; RC button name = Skip (key looks like >| on remote)

I have a bunch of other tips on this sort of thing, including editing xml file directly if you need to enter the Esc key!
