..., etc.

Customized keymaps file for OpenElec with HDMI-CEC remote control:

File lives in ''/storage/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps/keymaps.xml''.  The changes can be determined by diff'ing with ''/usr/share/kodi/system/keymaps/remote.xml''

Getting custom Confluence window names can be done by ''grep -r'''ing for ActivateWindow on ''/usr/share/kodi/addons/skin.confluence/720p''

Major change is to set the channel up/down to globally change volume up/down since HDMI-CEC does not map the volume buttons via CEC.

Also change A,B,C,D buttons to be desired ActivateWindow commands.
