I have a digitech xc4889 remote and receiver and a logitech 525 remote
This remote receiver sends keyboard inputs to the pc via usb.
Here is a link to a xbmc set up guide
http://blog.burlock.org/xbmc/51-xbmc-and...ter-remote
In this guide it is suggested disabling shift/alt and ctrl to make the remote work which it does and works well however a few inputs are lost as they contain mixes of ctrl and shift with an additional key.
Since the creation of that guide support has be added .
According tohttp://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Keymap.xml multiple keypresses are accepted.
Where it is noted.

Keynames

The simplest type of keyname is just, for example, <a> for a press of the A key on the keyboard. From build 26407 onwards you can use the keyboard modifiers ctrl, shift and alt. For example to add a mapping for the keypress control-A you would use <a mod="ctrl">, while shift-alt-A would be <a mod="shift,alt">.

Does this mean I could pick up those missing keys by making a map like this?

Code:

<P mod="shift,ctrl">Play<P>              # used to play
<P mod="ctrl">Pause<P>              # used to pause
<return mod="alt">Menu<return>      # menu

plus any other combos on the original remote plus anything I dream up with the logitech.
and do away with the launch and exit scripts altogether. (I have it working with the script)
This is my understanding but I cannot get it to work?
Any help much appreciated!
cheers rileyp

Yes, but note that the key modifier support was only added in build 26407 or later, so it will not work in the official release of v9.11.

I doubt <return mod="alt"> will work because Windows will grab alt-return and use it to toggle between windowed and full screen.

If you insrtall the latest nightly build from mirrors.xbmc.org this has all the MCE shortcuts like ctrl-shift-P and ctrl-P already configured.

To see what keypresses your remote is sending grab mceremote.zip from xbmcmce.sourceforge.net and use the ShowKey applet.

See http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Usi..._with_XBMC for more info.

Ah I need to run the daily build....thanks for the tip!

I wont be going there...
I'm using linux ....mythbuntu and arch and windows on a triple boot
Windows is there just as a security blanket until I have playing dvds fully sorted in linux.
xev in linux gives the keycodes.
