The program will remap the softkey buttons and volume buttons:
tap soft key = orginal soft key functions
tap and hold left soft key = start menu
tap and hold right soft key = close/ok button
volume slider at the left = page up/down
You can also use the DPAD to do some extra actions in phone app.
NOTE: If you got notification error, please run smartskey.exe and then run smartskey.exe to close the app. The program will now close all notification that relate to smartskey when it is closed.

I was wondering if there is any way to assign actions for Long Key Press other than the Send Key ie Long Home Key Press, Long Start Key press....exc
there might be something out there for that, but so far I've only seen for the Send and End keys.
try AEbutton give control over all plus adds double press and triple press
Hi, guys
Is there any way that I can remap buttons on the remote? For example, long press play/pause for menu(some legacy apps still require menu key to function), long press up/down for volume up/down.

I dont have it yet so i have no way of testing it out, but i recently remapped the physical keys on my nexus 6 by editing /system/usr/keylayout/generic.kl
I know this file is used to map physical and virtual keys in almost all android devices. not sure if it works for the remote or not but id start there. you need to be rooted to to access the file though. Let me know of it works or if you need anymore help feel free to pm me.
I am also hoping there is an answer to this, as I would like to access the context menu by long pressing a button like the way it was done in the apple TV 2. Unless I'm missing something, I can only access this menu by going into Yatse app on my phone.
PS. I'm referring to when I am in Kodi for the context menu

You can edit the keymap.XML file in kodi to open the context menu when you press the play/pause button when a video is not playing. If a video is playing it will act as the normal play/pause button.

My solution was to use the Amazon Fire TV stick remote. That remote is solid. The only thing that the stick remote can't do is voice search.

Can you show me how to do that? Because When I use the keymap tool in kodi, the only keys that get registered are the arrow keys. when i press the playpause key it doesnt give me a button id. Thank you !

It works on kodi but in Playon app I can move through the menu but I can't enter to the menu when I press the center button. Any help or advive? Thanks!
The post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59821276&postcount=111 explains how to remap the remote's play/pause button to bring up the context menu in Kodi. I've tried it and can confirm that it works.

interesting ...
key 103 DPAD_UP
key 105 DPAD_LEFT
key 106 DPAD_RIGHT
key 108 DPAD_DOWN
key 158 BACK
key 164 MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE
key 172 HOME
key 217 SEARCH
key 353 DPAD_CENTER
So remapping row "key 217 SEARCH" to "key 217 MENU" will let voice search button act as menu button?
is there a way to add long click behavior? for example to keep voice search as default function and long click for menu??
thanks!

Long click behavior is more complicated, so no.

I have a similar problem. I have this remote but the back key up on the top is mapped as a mouse press. I previously used this remote on a minix box with no issues running 4.2.2, however the nexus registers it as left click i believe. is there any way to change this? Thanks!
Search trigger button
Guys,
when i use a keyboard and i search i cant hit enter to trigger the search i always need press search on the onscreen keyboard. Is there any way to trigger search by key "Enter" or so? I deactivated the onscreen keyboard because i dont need it with a physical keyboard, but now i cant search... Anybody got a solution?
Is it possible to map volume key? I mean ex. Down key for "Home" and Up key for "back". It could be useful and allow to disable annoying navigation bar.
