I went through this sequence (for the KBD codes, but there's
no difference to LIRC here):

 ----------------------------------------
 Learning Remote Control Keys (KBD)
                                                    
 Phase 2: Learning specific key codes               
                                                    
 Press key for 'Up'  
 ---------------------------------------- here I pressed "Up"
 Learning Remote Control Keys (KBD)
                                                    
 Phase 2: Learning specific key codes               
                                                    
 Press key for 'Down'                               
                                                    
 (press 'Up' to go back) 
 ---------------------------------------- here I pressed "Down"
 Learning Remote Control Keys (KBD)
                                                    
 Phase 2: Learning specific key codes               
                                                    
 Press key for 'Menu'                               
                                                    
 (press 'Up' to go back)                            
 (press 'Down' to end key definition) 
 ---------------------------------------- here I pressed "Down" again
 Learning Remote Control Keys (KBD)
                            
 Phase 2: Learning specific key codes
                            
 Press 'Up' to confirm                              
 Press 'Down' to continue  
 ----------------------------------------

Now this is apparently the screen you are seeing.
However, if you didn't press "Down", I have no idea
_why_ you are seeing it. The "confirm" and "continue"
refers to the "press 'Down' to end key definition"
from the previous screen. You could change the line

           case kDown: WriteText(1, 5, tr("Press 'Up' to confirm"));

in VDR/interface.c to something like

           case kDown: WriteText(1, 5, tr("Press 'Up' to confirm ending key definition"));

if this makes things easier for you.

If on your remote control the "Up" key is also labeled "Channel+",
then you can't use that key for both funtions. VDR uses the "Up"
key for switching channels in normal viewing mode, while the "Channel+"
key is a "dedicated key" that can be used even while inside a menu.
So these have to be different key codes (otherwise just skip the
"Channel+" key definition and zap with the "Up"/"Down" keys.

Yes, you can (with "Up"/"Down").

What sense does it make to have "Mute" and "Vol-" on the _same_ key?
