List of available lircrc commands for mythfrontend

Hi folks.

I've been hunting around for a comprehensive list of lircrc commands
(config = ) for mythfrontend. Can't seem to find anything particularly
comprehensive, just people's example files.

I'm specifically looking for a way to assign a button to skip 30 seconds
for when the auto commercial skip hasn't detected ad breaks, but would
like a handy reference for future needs.

If there is one around, I'll put a link into the Wiki under lirc, which
would be the logical place to look.

If none exists, would someone be able to extract the full list and I'll
make up a page in the Wiki?

I think the best resource is the keybindings on the wiki

Yep. Myth uses the key name for LIRC "commands." Also, the 30-second
skip is configurable in the Playgroups.

Helps, but not all the time. Is it necessary for every user to try all
combinations of PageDown, PageDn, PgDn, PAGEDOWN, etc to find the exact
string myth expects?

A list of these correspondences would be nice. Remember, the list linked
above is for a keyboard user, where it's obvious which key is meant. If
trying to link in Lirc-derived keypresses in a config file, something a
little more exact is required.

In MythTV, choose Setup Utils -> Edit Keys and browse the lists for
specific key names you're after. You need the MythControls plugin to
see the Edit Keys screen. If you don't have it and don't care to use
it then try this mysql command to dump the keys table:

echo 'select * from keybindings' | mysql -u mythtv -p mythconverg >
keybindings.txt

The keylist col will list out the exact keynames as
"key1,key2,key3,key4". (In MythTV you can have one ore more keys
bound to the same function.)

http://doc.trolltech.com/3.3/qt.html#Key-enum (but remove the "Qt::Key_"
from the constant to get the key name) provides the list of all possible
keys, but Scott's recommendation to use MythControls to see what
/you've/ defined is the best approach. Because, after all, if you have
no mapping for a key, it won't do anything whether you send it using
LIRC or using a keyboard.
