"flirc_util record_api 1 p" doesn't generate Ctrl+P


Recommended Posts

Posted

I would like to program one of my remote's keys to generate Ctrl+P, which I believe should be possible using flirc_util's record_api command with arg1 = 1 for Left Control and arg2 = p. But when I type this command, I get the message:

 

hit a key on the remote to be paired with 1 0
 

 

(Note the 0, not P)

If I then press a remote key and then test the result using xev, I find that the key only generates Ctrl_L up/down events. No P.

 

This is with version 1.0.6 on Mythbuntu 13.10 saucy. I have been able to record over 60 keys using "flirc_util record char", including pageup/down, return, space, etc. I just can't get Ctrl+P.

 

I also noticed that "flirc_util settings" doesn't show the ctrl key in the list of recorded keys, although the count of recorded keys increases after I record that key.

OK so the above command works and my flirc generates Ctrl+P when I press the appropriate key on the remote, but here's what's weird. The key doesn't show up when I type "flirc_util settings", but an index (in this case, 3) is skipped. Here's the output:

I have that too. It seems that every key that has a modifier is skipped when viewing in CLI. It should be rather easy to fix/add that to the tool by dev.
