If p was being trapped by the desktop, that would be very unusual.<br>
Desktops almost always use Alt- or Ctrl-Alt- keys for hotkeys. And if<br>
you do p on the desktop, you would hope that you would see something<br>
happen as a result. I am still on Xubuntu 18.04 and there in the<br>
Setttings > Window Manager > Keyboard tab I can not see any single<br>
alphabetic keystrokes, and no p key. For the obvious reason that if<br>
you wanted to type p into a field in a program, you really do not want<br>
it grabbed by the desktop before it gets there.<br>
<br>
What sort of remote is it? How does it interface with the system?<br>
Does it have any testing software? Is lirc running and grabbing<br>
keystrokes from the remote somehow?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The remote is an Air Mouse as shown on the wiki:</div><div><a href="https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Air_mouse_rf_remote">https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Air_mouse_rf_remote</a></div><div>It's RF and connects via USB receiver. </div><div>lirc is not installed</div><div>Here's what I just did. In Settings -> Keyboard -> Application Shortcuts. I added a shortcut to run mate-calc if I pressed my remotes >|| button. It created the short cut noting that the key would be the AudioPlay. However this didn't work as something else has captured the AudioPlay button. That's why mythfrontend can't set that button to pause.</div><div><br></div><div>Jim A</div><div> </div></div></div>
