It's up to your OS to interpret them and emit key codes to applications (which is done by the keyboard layout selection in most OSes). It works on a lower level and maps your IR signals to USB HID codes. Most controllers (like Kodi for example) are just a collection of pre-configured, ready to use keyboard shortcuts and you can actually achieve the same functionality using full keyboard controller if you know those shortcuts.įlirc doesn't deal with key codes. So you can record some keys from one controller and some keys from another. They only group different keys together, but Flirc doesn't store information about selected controller. Maybe I'm gonna find a way via CLI, checking flirc_util now.Ĭontrollers are interchangeable. Not sure about your home platform (glad to see nice Linux support btw) but on Windows Randy's SharpKeys show something similar, mapping keys and key-codes together via registry. I was looking for more precise way to configure it, like option to assign specific signal to specific key codes. I understand and appreciate you made the app so easy to use, making it available for wide audience. Thanks for the nice gadget and for taking time to hang around the forum too. edit2> If I got it right, you're the man himself, Jason. Any other way how to sleep besides cluttering desktop with shortcut with keyboard shortcut assigned? Also, multimedia keys are in standalone profile, does it mean I need to choose if using one or another? Letters or 'Play', 'Next' etc.? There is a wake key, never saw one, but it lacks sleep key, present on mostly any kb today. Could you please help me to understand the Full keyboard profile? I mean, it's not that 'full', is it. edit> Now now, I realized I can! I can assign that function (like power on/off) I need temporarily to a button, press it and record and revert the button to the original function. Now I tried to do as you say and I see the limitations are mostly on the Harmony side, because it is activity based, it's not like I could say now send power on command for this DVD player and have Flirc recording that signal, or could I? I saw that somehow in docs indeed but just couldn't wrap my head around that.
