I have an Nvidia Shield 2017 model, and I am successfully using a recent version Flirc with my programmable remote for most of the functionality. My remote is android software running on a tablet. I have spent quite a bit of time searching for an answer to this, and I'll apologize in advance if I have missed a conclusive answer. There has been quite a bit of discussion of this issue, but I haven't found a solution for me. I do have the Android TV app on my phone that makes it easy to access the missing functionality, but my goal, as always, is to do everything with one remote. Is there any way to make the Flirc send a long key press to the Shield? In particular, accessing context menus would be useful. If not, does anyone know of alternative codes that can be sent to the Shield for these functions that don't require a long press? If the answer is no, then I can quit searching. Thanks for any feedback.

Hi, I just installed a new Flirc USB IR receiver on a new HTPC running Windows 11. It will replace an older less powerful HTPC. The old system had IR built in, but I built the new one and have to add the IR functionality. I use a great programmable remote that most of you probably never heard of, but it can transmit codes for all the keys on a Windows MCE IR keyboard. I use a lot of them, so need the Flirc to handle that. I was hoping I would be OK with the apparently built-in Microsoft WMC Profile, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I actually have one of the old Microsoft Windows MCE IR keyboards that works perfectly. So, I am trying to use that to map all its keys on the Flirc. It is mostly working just fine. I have mapped most of the keys already. Now, this seems like it should be really a dumb question, but I cannot see how to map the keyboard shift type keys. For instance, How do I map the left and right shift, ctrl, alt and Windows keys? When I bring up the full keyboard in the Flirc app and select, for instance, the shift key. the app waits for me to press another key to see what pairing of the shift key I want to map. I have been searching for a while and decided to save some time and just ask. How do I map the shift key itself. None of those keys map properly automatically. I really appreciate your help with this.
