RE: lirc/irxevent question

[Justin S. <jus...@gm...>]

Hi Nick,

Thanks for the response. I am looking to implement logic for a sequence of
remote control key press. The function key has its own key code and doesn't
modify other key codes. So if the function key is pressed, then the meaning
of the key changes, so instead of sending 1 it should send F1. 

Is such a configuration possible with lircrc?

Thanks,

Justin
