JP1 Remotes

Sorry it's taken so long to respond.

I'm not sure that I'll mess with the mouse keys any time soon, but I'm keeping this information for future reference. I'm not at a point where I need them or understand what to do with this data yet, although I'll probably get around to it eventually. If I can ...

Stupid me just realized that there is already a function for the drag command in Jon's keymap, so that's obviously not going to be what the mystery commands are for. Maybe they're for one of the multimedia keys?

I installed the program and it works fine with my regular keyboard. However, it doesn't record anything when any key is pressed on the Airboard. Unless I'm doing something wrong, I don't think it's going to help.

Thanks for the program though! I have some old laptops with keyboard problems, for ...

The Airboard has a special mouse key for drag&drop. You press it after selecting an item and it allows you to drag the item to a new location, at which point you press it again to release. My guess is that the mystery commands are for this key, but I haven't figured out how to make them work yet. I ...

Thanks for the explanation gjarboni. I've tried the mystery commands, but wasn't able to figure out what they do. I thought they could have been something similiar to the phantom functions and figured Jon would be the person to know, if anyone does know.

I'd be happy to contribute what I figure out ...

Jon, do you know what these 'Mystery Commands' do or is that why they're labeled mystery commands?

I'm not sure what you're saying, but it's probably because I haven't messed with extenders yet and don't even know what they are. It seems they have something to do with extending the functions of your remote, but I haven't figured out how yet.


However, you reminded me of another question ...

I'm probably not telling you anything you don't know, but I've found a couple of key functions that don't seem to be right. The 'numpad 0' key shows up as '*' and the 'p' key shows up as '-'.

I learned the 'p' key and it worked fine. However, at some point later it stops working again. This is just ...

I see now. Thanks for the explanation! I'm beginning to get the hang of this.

I have another question. I have an audio tuner, for which I couldn't find a keymap. So, I learned the signals and was able create a working keymap file for it. Should I upload this? If so, are there any guidelines I ...

Hey, thanks Mark!

That opens up a whole new world of possibilities. Now where shall I begin?

I missed the Alt-Up function in your keymap and now know that it releases the Alt-Dn function, returning everything to normal. I didn't know there were anymore functions, other than the ones listed on the buttons page.

Do both of the Alt functions need to be assigned to seperate buttons or is there ...

Hi Jon,

Thanks for the response and for the keymap! I'll try it, but it may take me a while to understand how to do it first. If I'm successful, I'll post my results.

Right now I'm having trouble with the 'alt' key. I've assigned it as a function, to a button, and it works, but then the remote ...

Hi all,

My first post here and I'm just getting started with JP1 remotes. I have a RS 15-2117 and I'm hoping to upgrade a device for the Airboard IR keyboard, using the keymap file from Yahoo!. I've been messing around with the keymap file and have had some luck getting some functions to work, but ...
