I keep forgetting that Google doesn't index sourceforge mailing list<br=

thread:<br>

It suggests sending backspace characters on multiple key presses to delete<=
br>
the previous entries.<br>
<br>
The problem with Christoph's approach is that there is no timeout. So i=
f you<br>
press the 2 key once, and then a 2nd time a minute later, you get<br>
2-backspace-a instead of 2 2.<br>
<br>
It still bothers me that I can't get the repeat or delay parameters to =
do<br>
what I expect. So I am giving up on this for now.<br>
<br>
The mythtv virtual keyboard is pretty cool so I can live without this<br>
feature.<br>

Thanks...<br>

I'm almost positive Christoph Bartelmus has posted an example config<br=

for how to do this on the lirc list at some point in the past, but<br>
you'd have to search the list archives...<br>
