I don't know a good answer because I am no expert, but I was just
looking at the lirc code in myth for another issues I had and saw
there is a configurable external script that can be run on each
keypress. I don't know if the key that was pressed is passed or not,
I don't have the code in front of me now. It is mainly used so you
can have feedback from keypresses such as an led.
Look at lirc.cpp in libs/libmythtv
