Jerry,

This is really a question for the lirc-list (read/subscribe at
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lirc-list) which you
might like to bookmark for future reference.

However, the following should work for the "Video" button in your
~/.lircrc file:

begin
        prog = irxevent
        button = Video
        config = Key ctrl-Tab CurrentWindow
end

This will pass Ctrl-Tab to the current window when running your X
server. irxevent needs to be running for this to work. You may also
need to use a different key name which is correct for your locale.

See http://lirc.org/html/irxevent.html for more useful information in
configuring irxevent, and your system's keysymdef.h file for valid key
names.
