If you're not using LIRC, you're not using the LIRC keypress application 
in whatever version of MythTV you have (as described in the part of my 
message I left, above).

Or are you saying that you never used this functionality, but it sounds 
like what you want?  You're trying to set something up, new, and wonder 
what you use with 'keyboard' type input?  (If so, something like Erik 
mentioned or just map a key using your Window Manager's key bindings.)
