Version: (using KDE 4.4.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages I need to emulate keyboard keys (Up, Down, Left, Right) via IR remote dongle. I use IRKick application, it works normally, I can control Amarok, Volu me, etc. But, for example, in Amarok I can show "Open file" dialog, but can't select anything via remote, because can't assign buttons to keyboard press or shortcuts. I can't find any way to set an action "key press" or "execute keyboard shortcut" for IR Transmitter button. Will be good to set this in a future versions, assigning buttons to keypress or shortcut (for example 'ctrl+a').
I think it is not possible to implement this in a platform independent manner. However, you can konfigure kdelirc already to do this. - install xte on your computer - create a new action using the Program Launcher Profile - Select function "Execute" - insert parameter 1: xte - insert parameter 2: keydown Control_L,key a,keyup Control_L This should create an action executing the following command: xte "keydown Control_L" "key a" "keyup Control_L" which in turn triggers the Ctrl+a keypress.
Many thanks for info, all work very good with xte!
