Adding Right Click To Flirc

[Cake Tiger]

Does anyone know an easy way of programming a remote so it replicates the effect of a right mouse button click. It must have been fairly easy and I don't think it involved any coding. 

I've done it before but I can't remember how I did it and now I need to do it again. Grrrr....

Hi,

There's no way of directly invoking any mouse actions with the Flirc itself as it acts only as a keyboard. There are some indirect ways to achieve this. It's OS/software dependant. For example in Windows you can turn on availability option to control the mouse cursor with a numeric keypad portion of the keyboard:

4, 8, 6, 2 = move left, up, right, down
1, 7, 9, 3 = move along diagonals
5 = click selected mouse button (selected mouse button is displayed on the system tray mouse icon)
+ = double click selected mouse button
0 = click and hold selected mouse button
. - release mouse button (after being hold by pressing 0)
/ = select left mouse button
* = select both buttons
- = select right mouse button

Cheers.

For anyone else looking, programming "C" has the effect I wanted - bringing up the context menu on Kodi.

Oh, you haven't mentioned that you wanted to open context menu in Kodi. I would tell you straight away that it is opened using C key.

Next time please try explaining in more details what you want to achieve :).

Greetings! Can you describe exactly how to program a right mouse click for usage OUTSIDE of Kodi. Cheers!

Easiest thing would be to run a program that allows you to change keypresses into mouse events. This can be an accessibility setting as posted above, or an external tool such as warpd ( GitHub - rvaiya/warpd: A modal keyboard-driven virtual pointer · GitHub ), tpmmouse ( Releases · EsportToys/TPMouse ), mousemaster ( GitHub - petoncle/mousemaster: Mouseless mouse control and advanced keyboard customization. · GitHub ), and there are many others.

Then, pair the key on the remote with the button-code that matches right-click in the program you used.
