I tried to assign a shift function to a button. As far
as I understood it's possible with "Advanced action".
After hours of trying, i gave it up.

If I assign:
Rw On: shift down
RW repeat: same as on
RW Off: shift up

the result is that the shift key keeps pressed, even if
i release the button

If I assign:
RW On: shift down
RW repeat: nothing changed
RW Off: shift up

the result is the same as above

If I assign:
RW On: shift down (enabled status - default - )
RW Off: shift up (but enabled, not disabled as default)

result: it may work sometimes if I try to assign this
way, but I cannot reproduce it if I try it to assign
again the same way.

But even If I am sometimes Successfull (two times now)
It hasn't any use, because pressing another button on
my remote doesn't take any effect! It seems that
besides the fact, that advanced action has a bug, the
remote can't send two events at the same time, or RW
KeyMaster doesn't understand it at the same time, so
that this feature won't work unfortunately :(

    The same if I use the "release command": The shift button
    still remains pressed.

    The same if I Try it with "Toggle Action": The Second press
    doesn't take any effect. The button remains pressed.

    This is meant to work this way:

    The radio buttons determine whether the appropriate action
    (on/repeat/off) is enabled or not.
    - "Disabled" means that the action is disabled (no matter
    what is in the list) and it won't be executed at all.
    - "Enabled" means that the content of the list will be executed.
    - "Same as on / repeat" means that the content of the On /
    Repeat list will be executed regardless of the list in this
    action

    To assign a shift key with the described functionality, the
    last way described is the correct one (ON: Shift down,
    enabled; OFF: Shift Up, enabled).

    On my Remote Wonder (original) it worked (and also the
    multiple simultaneous key presses) but I tried it quite a
    long time ago. Maybe it's broken in the new version, I'll
    look into it.

    OK, it seems to work like a shiftkey after I set it like you
    described it.
    It won't work if i press another RW Key :(

    If I hold my "shift-key" on the Remote it's working like a
    shiftbutton if I try to type on my Keyboard the letters are
    capitalized. --> it works like a shiftkey :)

    But if I press a key on the Remote while holding my RW shift
    key, it doesn't work :(

    I looked into x10test.log and see, that there never arrive
    two events at the same time. As far as I know there should
    arrive two events 1. shift and 2. the butten e.g. letter
    -"t" assigned to Number 2. But there aren't two events at
    the same time :(

    basicly the Shiftbutton works, but only in relation with
    another Inputdevice that gives the final buttonevents.

    Sorry to post this here but this project looks pretty inactive...

    If you want to control your ATI Wonder Remote you might want to give Intelliremote a try at http://www.intelliremote.com

    You can assign a keyboard action, mouse action, run an application, run a Windows script from any remote button you want and create profiles so you can change your remote behavior based on what application is active like ITunes or Winamp etc.
