Title:
  mythbuntu-lirc-generator generates duplicate keys for iMon PAD

Status in “mythbuntu-lirc-generator” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mythbuntu-lirc-generator

  The symptoms of this are that in mythtv (and the other apps as well
  most likely) pressing certain keys on the remote cause 2 or more
  keypresses to be sent to the application. This is most noticeable on
  Enter and Escape, for example.

  The keymaps in ~/.lirc/ are autogenerated by mythbuntu-lirc-generator
  (or by its cousin mythbuntu-lircrc-generator) and in there are
  multiple entries for the same button on the remote.

  What is happening, is that this script is parsing
  /usr/share/lirc/remotes/imon/lircd.conf.imon-pad and in there are
  multiple codes assigned to the same button. There is nothing wrong
  with that. There are several variants of this remote which transmit
  different codes for various buttons. For example, there are 3 (or
  more) possible codes for the Enter key, and one of them will get sent
  depending on which remote you have. They all need to be there so all
  variants of the remote are covered.

  Unfortunately, the mythbuntu-lirc-generator is not clever enough to
  handle this situation, and doesn't realise the multiple Enter entries,
  for example, are all the same key, and so generates 3 (or more)
  entries for Enter, which results in the Enter button sending 3 (or
  more) Enter keystrokes to mythtv.

  One other minor related buglet:

  Towards the end of /usr/share/lirc/remotes/imon/lircd.conf.imon-pad it
  comments out some alternate DVD and Menu button entries claiming that
  they are key-up codes. This is not true, and those need to be
  uncommented. They are keypresses on my remote, which I bought a month
  or so ago.
