[mythtv-users] remote + wireless keyboard

[Joe Votour]

It depends on the keyboard.

For most keyboards, the key codes can be read using
xev (I think), and then once you have those codes, you
can use xmodmap to map the buttons to regular keyboard
keys.

My keyboard unfortunately doesn't work, because it
seems to send multi-byte codes (and duplicates some of
them among the different keys as wwll).
