It would be nice, but I don't see this as a major problem.

Basically, what I do is open up the xPLHal Manager's monitor, press the
button on your remote that you want to do something, see the xPL message
appear in the monitor and right-click on it to automatically create a
determinator that will fire whenever that message is received.
So you never actually have to deal with the raw IR code itself.
(think this was Frank's idea, and it really works great!)

Yes please! I've been meaning to ask for this for ages.

I have buttons on my SliMP3 remote configured to control my C-Bus lights
in the bedroom, but of course this only works when nothing is playing!
