How long have you used XMBC?: First Time

Clear description of the problem - try and include as much information as possible, including what button and mappings you are having problems with (if applicable).:

I am using XMBC for the first time but the mapping of my mouse buttons won't work. I tried to map my side buttons to a specific control in Adobe Lightroom Classic (Ctrl+M) but it does not work. I even tried mapping it to commands in Adobe Premiere Pro (Ctrl+N) and Google Chrome and it still does not work. The log keeps showing this error:

CSimToken::Parse: Invalid/unknown special key tag {M}

Is there any way to fix this?

The log is correct. {M} is not a valid tag.
All tags are listed in the simkey setup screen window/help text (with examples too!)
Normal keys do NOT need { } around them!

You should be using {CTRL}M
Does that work?
