title: LIRC - How to use as keyboard command?
body: <p>i have a question about LIRC in Debian. I searched now for some days and could not find any solution for my problem.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to use an IR-Remote to send keyboard commads?</p>
  
  <p>I will explain:
  I use the "read" function in a shell script. So i.e. i press the "T" key something happens. Now i want to send via LIRC the same "T" so that the shell script is working with the remote, too.</p>
  
  <p>The other way is, not in a shell script but at my sources of the C-program.
  Here i use a code like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>case 't': {
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>so if button "t" at keyboard is pressed something happens.</p>
  
  <p>I hope someone can help me to use LIRC because i can´t understand the descriptions at the LIRC webpage. Every example is based on programs they allready support lirc commands.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you very much
  Regards Thomas</p>
