IMHO, I think that the page "LIRC" (parent of this talk page, that is), should be simply a definition of LIRC. Then a HOWTO should be on a different page. Thoughts?

Cleaning Up
- There are still multiple LIRC pages that could be better organized -- User:Ghormann -- 17 April 2011
Keyboard Focus
I'd like to add a section on keyboard focus to this article. Basically there's very little information around on LIRC and how it relates to keyboard focus. Some of the features of myth-tv require keyboard focus even when LIRC is the main form of input. Are there any suggestions for how I can improve this article with a section on keyboard focus? Thanks.

Lirc namespace aspects are missing
Since some time (2009?) lirc is in the process to use standardised key symbols, as provided by e. g. irrecord -l. This aspect is missing here, and makes at least the statement about arbitrary key names plain wrong.
Hands-on example!
Although there are indeed a lot of resources on how to configure lirc, a simple how-to in the mythtv context is still needed. Note that by using the standardised, namespace key symbols, a generic lircrc should be possible to use. In fact, it should be part of the distribution IMHO.
Besides, I agree that the how-to parts should be kept separate and that keyboard focus documentation would be great.
