Then you could probably have a variety of "program" names for MythTV: 'mythmusic' would have one set of commands, 'mythweather' would have another set, 'mythgui' another set, 'mythplayback' another set...

You could also have some generic commands that worked for any myth mode, like "delete", or "menu", or "seek +10". They might not always apply (like seek +10 wouldn't be of much use in the GUI) but whenever the mode permitted that command, that command would work.

Wow. 52 buttons on my remote times 5 or 10 program names (plus xine, MPlayer, and xmms) = one very big LIRC config file. :)

True, the config file could get huge, but it least it would be clear what you were intending. I really like Ben's idea. Much better than the current remote key overload.

In regard to my original question, I have added debugging output to some of the code, and Ctrl+W is the correct thing to put in the lircrc file. The Qt library parses it, but it's just not being handled properly when the event is dispatched. I just might get tired enough of adding debug output and recompiling to actually learn gdb again. Haven't used it in many, many years. Like, before C++ was in common use.
