Thanks for this, but I need to be clear. My remote does not work under lirc. It is an odd-ball (Keyspan Remote) which appears as a keyboard (albeit with a very limited number of keys) under X, using the evdev driver in xorg. Here is a link to a description: http://www.keyspan.com/products/urm15A/ I have had no trouble using it with Freevo, using xmodmap to make sure all the strange key strokes convert to the usual ones Freevo expects. So, really what I am asking is how to remap keyboard keys. How can I make an asterisk key stroke cause the Audio CD Backup menu get entered in the same way that typing 'e' or 'enter' would since this 'keyboard' has neither an 'e' nor an 'enter' key. I could use xmodmap to cause an asterisk key stroke to get mapped to 'e', but that would mean even my real keyboard would no longer be able to generate an 'e' since xmodmap works against all input devices and for all X programs for the duration of the session, which is not ideal. By the way, is there somewhere out there a list of all possible variations of 'Event' and 'EVENTS'? I looked in events.py, but I'm not a python guy.
