[17:27:57] Sabotender: mack: Please, I beseech you… This remote is quite brilliant, I've never had a remote quite like this before. I've been doing some research and the back button on the remote is interpreted by Linux, as a right-click button on a mouse. and thus brings contextual menus and somesuch. I was hoping there was a method to configure MythTv to interpret and assign that button so that it works the same as escape. In the keybindings, I can only
[17:27:57] Sabotender: find left click mouse button. This remote is so amazing, it has backlight and everything.
[17:30:12] Sabotender: I think I may need to do this at a much lower level, and modify how Linux is treating that button keycode.
[17:52:08] mack: Sabotender: there's a wiki article covering exactly this. Lemme find it
[17:53:26] mack: https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Category:Remote_Controls might have an article for your specific remote.
[17:54:35] mack: also https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Category:LIRC_Configuration_Files might have your remote
[18:22:08] Sabotender: Mack: Gracious, thank you very much for these links! And please, I'm not intending to give the impression of being manipulative, I did ask this question in another channel, because I believe our timezones may be different, and, I respect your time and any information you have the willingness to share.
[18:23:56] mack: I've never had to mess with remotes. The myth clients I have on big TVs are part of other setups (kodi and appletv, so my Harmony remotes just work already). I use the real frontend on PCs only, so I use the keyboard only.
[18:24:05] mack: so I don't have any personal experience to share.

[20:05:37] SteveGoodey: Sabotender: Sorry I may have missed this. What is this remote you're talking about?

[22:15:51] Sabotender: SteveGoodey: Sorry, was afk. Its an AirMouse.
[22:17:29] Sabotender: I am trying to capture the Linux input for that back button so I can remap it to esc.
[22:18:22] Sabotender: i'm a little astonished that the key bindings in Mythtv do not seem to be able to map the right click mouse button, even though the left click mouse button is an option.
[22:22:23] Sabotender: it really is the best Road I have ever had for streaming media set-top-boxes. a mouse and keyboard allinone. with backlight. My mug is glowing this much, lol
