Yes can map a button to script. Been a bit since I set mine up but I run a script on press of the 'off' button of my remote to check what screen MFE is on and then jump point to the menu or execute exit twice then put everything to sleep.

Note that the flirc config program doesn't run out-of-the-box on all OS. I have to run a Ubuntu boot CD because my machines are all Centos 7. Once it is setup the config stays with the stick so you can unplug / replug elsewhere.
