LM Remote KeyMap : Customize yourremote

LM Remote KeyMap come with a default profile for your Streamzap, Firefly, Firefly Mini or MediaCenter (MCE) PC remote and should work for many multimedia application. However it is

recommended that you add a profile for each application you want to use with your Streamzap,Firefly, Firefly Mini or Media Center (MCE) PC remote.

Before reviewing how to add and edit an application profile, you need to understand how profilesare used. Each time you press a button on your Streamzap, Firefly, Firefly Mini or Media Center(MCE) PC remote, LM Remote KeyMap will search among all the profiles to find a matching profileand use it :

First LM Remote KeyMap will retreive the current active window(usually this is the Top Most active window) and retreive itswindow title, window class name and executable name.

Then LM Remote KeyMap search for a profile that match :o the executable nameo or the title and class nameo or the class nameo or the titleo or use the default profile If a matching profile is found LM Remote KeyMap will use it for each

key that is assigned an action in this profile. If a key is notspecifically assigned inside the matching profile LMRemote KeyMap use the key action of the default profile.

Also you can force a profile, in this case LM Remote KeyMap will not search for a profile but usethe one you choose. For instance, you can make the "Red" button of the Streamzap, Firefly,Firefly Mini or Media Center (MCE) PC Remote to launch your favorite PVR software and make LMRemote KeyMap switch to that PVR application profile. LM Remote KeyMap will use this profileuntil you switch LM Remote KeyMap to use the default profile (for instance when pressing on the"Power" button). This way whatever window is the active window, LM Remote KeyMap will usethe same profile and can even bring automatically to foreground your PVR application if needed.

Adding / Removing a profile

To add a new remote profile, click onthe "Add" button belwo the remoteprofiles list and either select "Newblank profile" or "Profile from OnlineDatabase"

When you select "Profile from OnlineDatabase", you can search for profilessubmitted by other users. The searchscreen opens and if this is the first timeyou open it, you'll be prompted toauthenticate using your donatorusername and password. Once you aresuccessfully authenticated you can typea keyword in the form and click on the"Search" button. The profiles that domatch your query will be listed inthe list, select the profile you want to

use and click the "Add this profile to my profiles" link.

To remove an existing profile click on the "Remove" link.

If you want to share this profile with other LM Remote KeyMap users click on the "Share" link.Then fill in the upload form : type the application name and version as well as a description of

your profile. As all differents profiles for an application are stored in the online database (that isyou can have more than one profile for Media Center if the key mapping are not the same) you

should tell in the description what is specific about your profile (for instance explain in few wordswhat the "Menu" button will do).

Editing a profile

To edit a profile, select it in the application profiles list and click on the "Edit" link. This will openthe profile editor.

Profile Definition

The first screen of the profile editor let you change the properties of the profile (the default profileproperties cannot be changed):

Use the "ProfileName" field to give a name to your profile Use the "Window Class" field to specify the window class name this profile should match.

When LM Remote KeyMap is searching the profile to use it will get the active window classname and will try to match it to one of your profiles (with or without the window titlename). You can leave this field blank if you only want to search by window title name orexecutable name.

Use the "Window Title" field to specify the window title this profile should match. WhenLM Remote KeyMap is searching the profile to use it will get the active window title andwill try to match it to one of your profiles (with or without the window class name). Youcan leave this field blank if you only want to search by window class name or executable

name. Use the "Application Executable" filed to specify the exectuable this profile should

match. When LM Remote KeyMap is searching the profile to use it will get the executablename for the active window (for instance notepad.exe) and will search a profile with thisexecutable name. You can leave this field blank if you want to search with window titleand / or class name.

Check the "Automatically put this application into focus...." if you want LM RemoteKeyMap to bring the window corresponding to the window class name and / or windowtitle name / and or executable to the foreground whenever you press one button on your


4/18

Streamzap, Firefly, Firefly Mini or Media Center (MCE) PC Remote. This will only work ifyou are actually forcing a profile (by using the "Change Profile" action for one of yourremote button).

Use the "Description" field to write down some notes about this profile to help youremember what this profile is supposed to do.

For instance, if you want to create a profile that will apply only to the Notepad application, type"Notepad" into the "Window Class" field.

You can also put the application corresponding to the profile to edit into focus and press the "Ctrl+ Shift + R" on your keyboard, this will copy title, class name, exectuable name into LM RemoteKeyMap.

Tip: You don't have to keep the three fields Executable, WindowsTitle, Window Class Name to target the right application. Only one ofthem is enough. If you don't know what to do, keep only the

Application Executable field.

Click on the "Next >" button to change the remote buttons behavior, or click on the "Ok" buttonto save your changes without editing the remote buttons.

Buttons & Actions

Use the remote picture for assigning actions to each of your remote buttons. An action is what LMRemote KeyMap is supposed to do when you press a button on your remote. You can have morethan one actions per key. You don't have to assign each button an action, in this case when abutton doesn't have any action LM Remote KeyMap will use the action in the default profile.

For each button and in each profile you can type a (short) help string. This help string can bedisplayed on the OSD when you enter the help mode by using the "Help Mode"action.

To add an action to a remote button, click on the remote button in the picture (or select it in thedrop down list, or press the button on your real remote) then click on the green "Add an Action"button in the actions list.

To remove an action, click on thered remove button located onthe left of each action.

To change the settings of anaction click on the tool buttonlocated on the right of eachaction.

To move up / down an actionclick on the arrow buttonslocated on the right of eachmovable action.

When you add an action you arepresented whit a dialogcontaining all possible actions toadd, you can choose among

these actions :

Keystroke: this action will send keys to the active application. Send Message: this action will send message (like : close / minimize etc...) to the active

window or a window you searched for with the "FindWindow" action

Find Window: this action will search a window by its window class name and or windowtitle (just like the profile), the window found will be used by the "Send Message" /"Application Command" and "Foreground" actions instead of the active window.

Change Volume: this action will let you change the master volume, either up or down(and you choose the increment) or absolutely. So you can say "up by 5%" or "down by10%" or "set it to 50%".

Application Command: this action will send a AppCommand message to the activewindow (or the window found using FindWindow). AppCommand message are messagesused by multimedia keyboards or MCE remote like "Play", "Pause", "Mute" etc...

Launch Application: this action will run the application of your choice Pause: this action let you pause the action chain. One button can have more that one

action, each action are fired the one after the other, with this action you can make apause (for instance to wait for an application before firing the next action)

Display Menu: this action is for creating a menu. This menu will be displayed on top ofany other window and you'll be able to navigate it by using the arrow buttons on theremote. When you select one entry in the menu it will then fire its associated actions.

Change Profile: this action will force LM Remote KeyMap to use a profile until you usethis action again to revert to the default profile. This is useful if you have an applicationthat cannot be found by window class name and / or window title : you just program abutton to launch this application and switch to the corresponding profile and in thisapplication profile program a button to close the application and switch to the defaultprofile.

Switch Profile: this action force LM Remote KeyMap to switch to another profile for onlythe current button press. It will not lock the profile like the "Change Profile" action do.

Once you have selected the action click on the "Ok" button to set up the action if needed, if noconfiguration is needed, you'll return to the actions list for the remote button currently selected.

Available Actions

This are all the actions you can use with LM Remote KeyMap.

Application Activate

This action will put a window found by the "Find Window" action into the foreground.

Application Command Action

The "Application Command" action simulate the keypress of a multimedia keyboard (or remote).You just choose the multimedia command to send. Note: the default profile already use theappropriate command for your Streamzap, Firefly, Firefly Mini or Media Center (MCE) PC Remote,so you should not have to use it (Also some multimedia program don't always support suchcommand). The supported commands are :

BrowserBackward : obvioulsy should make your browser go back. But it may also works inother program with a different puprose (still it should go back somehow)

BrowserForward : the same as backward, but this time go forward.

MediaPlay : supposed to make the application play something MediaPlayPause : a two state command, press once it plays, press again it pauses MediaPause : supposed to pause whatever is playing MediaStop : supposed to stop playback (or something else) MediaRecord : supposed to start recording something MediaFastForward : supposed to fast forward a playing media MediaRewind : supposed to rewind a playing media MediaNextTrack : supposed to go to the next item on a list MediaPreviousTrack : supposed to go the previous item on a list MediaChannelUp : supposed to change channel MediaChannelDown : supposed to change channel MediaVolumeUp : increase volume (either master or the active application) MediaVolumeDown : decrease volume (either master or the active application) MediaVolumeMute : mute volume (either master or the active application)

8/18

Beep Action

This action will make your PC speake beep. This only works on 32 bits OS (this is a Windowsissue). You can select the tone and duration for the beep.

Blast Action

This action blast the IR code for the IR device and button selected through your IR blaster. Youcan use more than one "Blast" action for a remote button and separate each of them by a"Pause"action.

Note: you may have to add a "Pause" action before using the "Blast"action to avoid IR collisions: IR collision occurs when a device isbusy discarding your PC remote IR code and cannot process theblasted IR code by the "Blast" action (the number of milliseconds touse for resolving collisions issues is dependent on your IR device, try

a pause value of 30 ms up to 300 ms)

Blast Raw Action

The "Blast Raw Action" allows you to send IR codes for a LM Remote KeyMap IR devices. Withthis action you don't have to learn the IR codes, instead you can directly type the IR code into theconfiguration dialog or compute the IR code yourself and send it through aLM Remote KeyMapC# script.

Change Profile Action

The "Change Profile" action will force LM Remote KeyMap into the profile you choose in the"Profile" drop down list. When a profile is forced LM Remote KeyMap does not try to search for aprofile matching the active window. Instead it will continue to use the actions assigned to thebuttons for this profile until you use again the "Change Profile" action to change to the defaultprofile.

So basically you will use this action before the "Launch Application" action, and again use it toclose the application and switch to the default profile.

You can also use the "Automatically bring to foreground" option of the profile to automatically

bring to foreground the window matching the profile, so if your application is loosing focus, LMRemote KeyMap will remedy the situtation.

Change Volume Action

The "Change Volume" action will change the master volume of your PC and display a volumeOSD. You can choose among three options by using the radio buttons :

Set : this set the volume to an absolute value. Just type the value in the "Volume Value"field. The value you type must be an integer between 0 and 100. If you choose 50, thevolume will be set to 50%. This is useful for setting the volume to an acceptable level (notawaking neighborood level ;)) prior to launch your favorite music application (and ofcourse put the "Change Volume" action BEFORE the "Launch Application" action)

Increment : this increment the volume by the value you type in the "Volume Value" field.For instance if you choose "5", the volume will be increased by 5 points (if it was at 40%,it will be at 45%) so this is a linear volume change only

Decrement : the same as decrement instead it lower the volume.

Close Application Action

This action can close a running application. To select the application to close, type the executablename of the application, or click on the "Browse" button to locate the executable.

LM Remote KeyMap will then search for the first process corresponding to the executable andclose it if it can.

If you don't want to close an application by its executable name, but instead close the applicationcurrently in focus, use either aKeystrokeapplication with Alt + F4 (%{F4}) or aSendMessageaction with 16 as the message.

Display Menu Action

This action will display a menu when you press a button on your Streamzap PC Remote. Toenable this feature you must be a donator and have installed the full version of LM RemoteKeyMap.

After adding this action under a button. You must add some menu entries. Click on the "AddMenu Entry" button in the action box. This will add a new entry to your menu and display themenu entry dialog where you can:

Type the menu entry name in the "Name" fields. This name will bedisplayed in the menu

Choose an optional icon to be displayed in the menu next to itsname (preferabily a PNG file)

Then add actions under the new menu entry, just like you would do for a button.

When you press a key that does have a DisplayMenu action. LM Remote KeyMap will first executeall actions before the DisplayMenu action and then display the onscreen menu (do not forget to

choose a skin and to select the size and position of the menu). Also, all actions after the menu willnot be executed at all.

When the menu is displayed it will not be closed until you close it by choosing one of its entry orby pressing the "Exit" button on your Streamzap, Firefly, Firefly Mini or Media Center (MCE) PCRemote or by pressing on the same key that first launched the menu (in this case no action willbe take).

Navigate in the menu by using the Right / Left / Up / Down key on your Streamzap PC remoteand click on the "Ok" button on your Streamzap, Firefly, Firefly Mini or Media Center (MCE) PCRemote when you have selected the right menu entry to execute. At this point LM RemoteKeyMap will execute all actions under this menu entry.

Eject CD Action

This action allows you to open or close the CD door for the drive of you choice. Select the drive touse and wether the door should be opened or closed.

Find Window Action

The "Find Window" action will search for a window matching the window class name and/orwindow title you typed in the "Window Class" field, "Window Title" field or "Executable" field. Youcan leave either the "Window Class", "Window Title" or "Executable" field blank, so as to searchonly the window by its title or its class name.

The resulting window will be used by the "Send Message", "Application Command"and"Foreground" actions. The resulting window can only be used for the actions under the samebutton. So if you are using "Find Window" for the "1" button, the window found will only beavailabe for this button and not the "2" button for instance.

Find Child Window

The "Find Child Window" work like the "Find Window"action, but will only search for childwindows of the current focused window (or a previously "Find Window" window)

Foreground Action

This action brings the active window or the window found by the "Find Window" action to theforeground. You don't have anything to do to configure this action.

Help Mode Action

The "Help Mode" action put your remote into help mode. In this mode for each button press theassociated help string for the button (you can edit the help string in the application profile editor)is displayed on the LM RKM OSD.

This way if you can't remember what a button is doing for an application: press on the buttonwith the "Help Mode" action, and press on the button you want help for. The OSD will display theassociated help string for the button in the current selected profile.

not Is Screen Saver Running : to know if the screen saver is currently

running

Is Fully Resumed : to know if your PC is fully resumed or not (fullyresumed meaning that the PC is turned on and has never gone tosleep, or that the PC was asleep but was resumed manually by theuser)

Once you selected the condition and its optionnal arguments you'll be able to add actions under a

"Then" node or a "Else" node within the actions list.

Actions located under the "Then" node will be executed if the condition is true. Actions locatedunder the "Else" node will be executed if the condition is false. You don't have to put actionsunder both "Then" and "Else" node.

Key Down / Key Up Action

The "Key Down" or "Key Up" action simulate a key down or a key up. When you use a "KeyDown" then a "Key Up" action for the same key, this simulate a full key press. You can use more

that one "Key Down" and "Key Up" actions to simulate keyboard shortcuts that doesn't work withthe "Keystroke" action (for instance : Ctrl + Alt + M). You just have to choose the right virtual keycode in the drop down list. Also don't forget to use a "Key Up" action for each "Key Down" youuse.

Keystroke action

The Keystroke action just send keys to the active window. Just type the keys you want to send inthe "Keystroke" field. Each key is represented by one or more characters. To specify a singlekeyboard character, use the character itself. For example, to represent the letter A, pass in thestring "A" in the field. To represent more than one character, append each additional character tothe one preceding it. To represent the letters A, B, and C, specify the parameter as "ABC".

The plus sign (+), caret (^), percent sign (%), tilde (~), and parentheses () have specialmeanings. To specify one of these characters, enclose it within braces ({}). For example, tospecify the plus sign, use "{+}". To specify brace characters, use "{{}" and "{}}". Brackets ([ ])have no special meaning, but you must enclose them in braces.

To specify characters that aren't displayed when you press a key, such as ENTER or TAB, andkeys that represent actions rather than characters, use the codes in the following table.

Key codes

Key Code Key Code Key Code

BackSpace {BKSP} Break {BREAK} Caps Lock {CAPSLOCK}

Delete {DEL} Down {DOWN} End {END}

Enter {ENTER} Escape {ESC} Help {HELP}

Home {HOME} Insert {INSERT} Left {LEFT}

Num Lock {NUMLOCK} Page Down {PGDN} Page Up {PGUP}

Print Screen {PRTSC} Righ {RIGHT} Scroll Lock {SCROLLLOCK}

Tab {TAB} Up {UP} F1,....,F16 {F1},....,{F16}

Add {ADD} Substract {SUBTRACT} Multiply {MULTIPLY}

Divide {DIVIDE}

To specify keys combined with SHIFT, CTRL and ALT keys, precede the key code with one ormore of the following code :

SHIFT : + CRTL : ^ ALT : %

For instance if you want to send CTRL + X, use ^X. If you want to simulate more than one keypressed like SHIFT + E + C, then use +(EC).

wait for the application main window to be displayed before executing other actions (theactions that follow the "Launch Application" action for the same button)

wait for the application to exit before executing other actions launch the application from the LM RKM Blaster Service (the application will not be visible

on your desktop and will run under the account used by LM RKM Blaster Service : Local

System by default)

Note: if an application doesn't get focus when launched, make sure that you selected theoption "Ensure application got focus when started". If this still doesn't work you may haveto select the "Wait for the application main window..." and use a "Pause" action, then a"Mouse"action to click on the window to be sure that the application will get focus (youcan click the mouse anywhere as you'll usually do this for full screen applications)

(pixels)" field (actually it's not pixels it's more a relative delta function of your mousesensitivity).

Left Click / Right Click / Middle Click : perform a left, right or middle mouse button click (Ifyou PC remote is fast enough you can even make double clicks).

Mouse Mode Action

This action will enter the PC Remote mouse mode. This mouse mode is specifically designed toreduce button clicks on the PC remote to move the mouse pointer.

When you press on the remote button linked to this action, LM Remote KeyMap enter mousemode and will quickly display "Mouse On" on its Osd. All buttons on the remote are thus disabledexcept :

Left / Right / Up / Down buttons Menu and Exit buttons Ok button

The mouse pointer only go straight up /down / left / right. It will never use diagonals. If the mouse pointer is going to the right, clickingon the left button will stop the mouse pointer, however clicking on the down button it willinstantly goes down (at the lowest speed).

When your mouse pointer is moving : pressing on the "Ok" or "Menu" button on your PCremote will stop the mouse pointer. Then if you press the "Ok" button you'll simulate a left click, ifyou press on the "Menu" button you'll simulate a right click.

To end mouse mode, press on the "Exit" button on your PC remote.

Move Window Action

This action allows you to move the current focused window or a window found by the "FoundWindow"action to the location of your choice.

MultiPress Action

The "MultiPress" action is an alternative to the "Display Menu" action. When you use it, it tells LM

Remote KeyMap to not fire all actions that are after the MultiPress action, but instead to fire onlyonce after a small delay (1s).

For example add four "Keystroke" actions to the "2" button after the Multipress action. The firstone sends "2", the second sends "A", the third "B", the fourth "C". Then in the "MultiPress" "KeyNames" field type "key 2,key a,key b,key c" : this will set up the names to be displayed in theOSD when you'll be pressing the button, separate each name for each key press by a coma.

So when you'll press the "2" button of your remote, the OSD will display "key 2" and it will vanishafter 1 second and the key "2" will be send to your application. Press "2" again on your remote,

the OSD displays "2", then quickly press again"2" on your remote, the OSD will change to "key a"and will vanish if you do not press any key on the remote and the key "a" will be send to yourapplication.

Note: all actions after a "MultiPress" actions are supposed to be part of the "MultiPress" chain. Soif the number of key names you type in the "Key Names" fields of the "MultiPress" action doesn'tmatch the number of actions following the "MultiPress" action the extraneous actions will beskipped.

Navigation Mode Action

The "Navigation Mode" action put your remote into a navigation mode (just like "Mouse Mode").In this mode only the following buttons are working :

Playbutton : if you press this button you'll enter the "Alt+Tab" feature of Windows. Pressthe "Play" button multiple times and when you finally selected the window you want tobring on top, press the "Ok" button on your remote

Okbutton : it will either select the window to bring on top if you are in a "Alt+Tab"sequence or simulate the "Return" key

Up/ Down/ Left/ Right: simulate up / down / left / right keys of your keyboard Skip Forwardand Skip Backwardbuttons : simulate "Tab" and "Shift Tab" Fast Forwardand Rewind buttons: simulate "Ctrl Tab" and "Shift Ctrl Tab" Menubutton : display the windows start menu

To exit the navigation mode press on the "Exit" button on your remote or the button you used toenter the navigation mode.

Press Key Action

The "Press Key" action simulate a key press on your keyboard (one key pressed). This action ismainly intended for the Firefly Mini / MCE Remote to reduce the side effects of setting up a globalkeyboard hook. To simulate a key press, just choose the virtual key code in the drop down list.

Press Key To Action

With this action you should be able to send a single keystroke to a non focused window. Selectthe window to send the keystroke to by using the "Find Window" or "Find Child Window"actionbefore using the "Press Key To" action.

Note: this action may not work at all. Usually for keyboard input to work correctly a window needto be focused, this is the way keyboard input works in Windows.

Screen Saver Action

The "Screen Saver" action allows you to turn on or turn off your screen saver. You can also

disable (or enable) your screen saver: when you screen saver is disabled it will not launch whenyour computer is idle for the predefined amount of idle time; this can be useful if some of yourapplication don't disable themselves the screen saver.

You can choose the file name used to save the screenshot (a PNG / JPG / GIF file). Wether thisfilename should be used for all screenshots (so the file will be overwritten) or if a new file should

be created each time you take a screenshot.

If you have more than one display you can also choose to capture all your displays or only one.

Script Action

This action allows you to use C# code to extend LM Remote KeyMap. With theC# scriptingengineyou can use all .Net Framework features as well as native Win32 API.

Some features of LM Remote KeyMap can also be accessed through the C# scripts thanks totheLM Remote KeyMap Object Model.

Send Message Action

The "Send Message" action sends the specified message to the current window (or the windowfound by using the "Find Window"action). Those messages are windows messages, so you needto type the Message, wParam and lParam (wParam and lParam are optionnal) in thecorresponding fields.

Some Windows messages : WM_CLOSE = 16 / WM_KEYDOWN = 256 / WM_KEYUP = 257 /WM_CHAR = 258.

For instance if you want to send a message for closing an application, just use the WM_CLOSEmessage, so type "16" in the "Message" field, and 0 in both wParam and lParam field.

Set Variable Action

With the "Set Variable" action you can create a global variable. The global variable will beaccessible through all LM Remote KeyMap action chains (wether the action chain is executed for abutton press or an event)

Global variables can be used with the "If"action (to test for a basic condition), the "Show OSD"action (to display the content of a variable), the "Script"action (for advanced use), the"Increment Variable"action (to add / remove value from numeric variables)

Show OSD Action

This action allows you to display the LM RKM OSD with the message and icon of your choice. Youcan also choose to use a skin that is not the global skin you selected in the OSD options.

If you want you can choose to wait for the OSD window to be displayed before executing otheractions. This can be useful if you use this action with the PC events (like LM RKM stopping).

You can also display the content of your global variables in the displaye text. Type the names ofthe variable to be displayed in the "Variables Names" field as a coma separated list. Then for the"Text to display" use the C# formatting options. For instance : "Variable Value = {0}" where 0 willbe the the value of the first variable in the coma separated list given in the "Variables Names"field.

Shutdown Action

This action will either shutdown, supsend, hibernate or reboot your computer. Select the type ofshutdown to do in the "Shutdown type" drop down list.

Stop Action

This action allows you to stop the actions following this one to be executed. This can be usefulwhen used in a "If"action, especially if the "If" action is used for "All buttons" on your remote.

Switch Profile Action

This action will switch the application profile just like the "Change Profile"action, but only for thecurrent pressed button. The switch occurs immediately and doesn't persist.

You can use this for recovering lost focus: For instance you typically use the "Green" button tolaunch your favorite media front end. So you add a "Launch Application"in the default profile forlaunching your front end. The "Green" button will also be used to go to the home menu of yourfront end. If your front end loose focus, you may want to recover focus by pressing the "Green"

button again. You can do this by adding a "If"action for the "Green" button in the default profilewith a "Is Running" condition : when the condition is false, you use the "Launch Application"action; if the condition is true, you use a "Find Window"action to find the front end window, thena "Application Activate"action to put the front end window into focus, then a "Switch Profile"action to switch the profile back to the front end, so as the action usually mapped to the "Green"button for the front end will be executed.

Volume Mute Action

This action will mute or unmute your PC master volume and display the volume OSD.

Wake On Lan Action

This action will wake up a computer (another computer that the one that will fire this action) fromHibernation or Power Off (obviously you need a Wake On Lan (WOL) compliant network card andmotherboard). To wake up a computer type the MAC address of the WOL network adapter of thiscomputer (just type the hexa formatted string of your adapter without any separators, for

instance : 0012d72a10ea).

"Wake On Lan" will broadcast a magic packet (on port 12287) and it should wake up yourcomputer.

Window Border Action

This action allows you to show or hide a window border. The window can be the current focusedwindow or a window found by the "Find Window"action.

This action can be used along with "Move Window" to put an application into a fake fullscreen

mode. Though you must use "Window Border" before using "Move Window".
