secretliar Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Hi, I would like to associate the power button of my remote with an action that will just wake up the screen. For now : - I power on the TV, HDMI no connected because screen of HTPC in saving mode - I press a button to wake the HTPC screen and it shows on TV What I want : - Power on the TV and Flirc do a press key that will wake up the screen also. I know that I could just put any keypress on Flirc but if the screen is already ok, I don't want the HTPC a receive something like "p" ou "t" and change start a search or something else. Is there any keypress that doesn't do much but do wake the screen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 why not pair the power button for your TV on your remote with some arbitrary button like space bar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretliar Posted August 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 I thought about that but if I do, if the screen is not off for the HTPC, it could pause or do something else to XBMC. Is there some other combo buttons I didn't think about? I would like to pair it with CTRL but it's not possible to just press "CTRL", it has to be with some other key :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 no, it's a modifier key and can't be sent by itself. What about just an unmapped key combination? ctrl+shift+alt+h Something arbitrary should work that doesn't disturb xbmc, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretliar Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I'm gonna try tomorrow ;) I'll tell you if it disturb Windows. yeah, sometimes XBMC is open, sometimes no and it's the Metro UI... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
