The Kodi/Harmony profile that Flirc provides is a HUGE help and has allowed me to use my Harmony One with my Raspberry Pi/Kodi setup for a couple years, but that profile doesn't cover all available Kodi keyboard controls and it'd be really nice if I wasn't still having to reach for a wireless keyboard so I can press the 'M' key every time I wanted to download a subtitle.
