0Kodi keymap for miniguide on arrow keys in livetv

What a hor­rible title that is, but I did­n’t know how else to describe this. Since switch­ing from Media Cen­ter to Kodi I’ve mostly been very pleased, but a few small niggles have remained where for some reas­on Kodi just does­n’t default to “nice” beha­viour in the same way that Media Cen­ter did. I long ago man­aged to get the “Live TV” link from the main menu to point to the guide view instead of a chan­nel list, but once a chan­nel is being dis­played I could­n’t find a neat way to describe a mini-guide like Media Cen­ter would do.

I have finally found a solu­tion to this, via a cus­tom keymap file. The kodi mini guide isn’t as nice as in Media Cen­ter, but it’s much bet­ter than nothing.
