PROFILE

Matthias Reichl

Over a two-month period, contributed to the xbmc/xbmc repository by enhancing input handling and cross-platform keyboard support. Focused on stabilizing and modernizing the codebase, the work included removing legacy keycode fallbacks and improving logging for key mapping investigations, which streamlined debugging and reduced maintenance overhead. Delivered a new cross-platform Select key feature, standardizing key mappings and symbol definitions across X11, Wayland, and Linux input systems. Utilized C++, XML, and Clang-Format to update per-platform handlers and maintain code quality. These efforts improved navigation consistency and reliability, addressing platform-specific input issues and supporting a more unified user experience.
