Hello,

Could you please share your mapping file?

What is the result if you swap the key code for up and back so that hitting
up would generate a backspace and vice versa?

Thanks,
Gregor

Title:
  ir-keytable presses recognised but not working

Status in v4l-utils package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm using ir-keytable to map button presses on a remote control to
  keyboard presses. I'm using an old Apple remote and after scanning for
  the keycodes I've produced a keymap file which is loaded by ir-
  keytable. However, I have only succeeded in getting the arrow keys and
  enter working (KEY_UP,  KEY_DOWN, KEY_LEFT, KEY_RIGHT, KEY_ENTER). All
  the other keypresses that I've tried are recognised by ir-keytable,
  but are not being passed to the system. For example, the KEY_BACKSPACE
  which I need. Running ir-keytable -t and pressing the relevant remote
  button I get:

  1433359068.641206: event type EV_KEY(0x01) key_down: KEY_BACKSPACE(0x0001)
  1433359068.641206: event type EV_SYN(0x00).
  1433359068.641230: event type EV_MSC(0x04): scancode = 0x77e1c03d
  1433359068.641230: event type EV_SYN(0x00).
  1433359068.641235: event type EV_MSC(0x04): scancode = 0x77e1c03d
  1433359068.641235: event type EV_SYN(0x00).

  But it never works as backspace. For example, if I open a text editor
  and use the arrow or enter keys, I can see the cursor moving around.
  But the backspace does not work. Also any other keymap that I've tried
  (e.g. numbers, letters) does not work.

  I'm using ir-keytable 1.6.0-2 in xubuntu 15.04.  My system is a
  NUC5i5RYHK, the IR driver is nuvoton-cir. The output  of ir-keytable
  is:

  Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event3) with:
  	Driver nuvoton-cir, table rc-rc6-mce
  	Supported protocols: NEC RC-5 RC-6 JVC SONY SANYO LIRC RC-5-SZ SHARP XMP other
  	Enabled protocols: NEC RC-5 RC-6 JVC SONY LIRC
  	Name: Nuvoton w836x7hg Infrared Remote
  	bus: 25, vendor/product: 1050:00c3, version: 0x0033
