Hallo,

Well, maybe this is a general flaw of cLircRemote? Doesn't LIRC provide the information that the key has been released? That would make it unnecessary to wait for such a long time (REPEATDELAY) before signaling a "release".

I don't think it does (at least irw doesn't report anything on key release), but even if it did surely it'd have to use a timeout to detect that there's nothing more coming from the remote, so the problem would be the same (unless the remote itself sends something to signal a key release).

I am now using the Remote plugin, but if IIRC then irw shows a counter which counts up as long as the key is held - as soon as the key is released and pressed again it starts over by 0 (or 1 !?). That could surely be used for this.

It *is* used for this (look at lirc.c). Of course this doesn't cover the case where the key is released and *no* key is pressed again, and that's where a timeout is necessary and used (look, no more keys coming, let's generate a k_Release).

Bye
