Package: inputlirc
Version: 11-1
Severity: wishlist

Just started using this and it's very nice. So much easier than farting
around with the evdev driver for xorg and wrestling xmodmap.

Anyway, I wasted a fair amount of time wondering why the OK key of my
remote was the only one not working. I almost convinced myself the button
wasn't physically working and was just about to get the screwdriver and
meths out when I noticed the LED on my DVD player was blinking when I
pressed the OK button. I tried the input-events command and that
reported EV_KEY KEY_ENTER. So then I knew it was inputlirc that was not
passing it on. I reread the man page and finally guessed it was
filtering KEY_ENTER out because it was less than 88.  Reading the man
page it looks like the intent of the default filtering number is to stop
you from stuffing yourself up with inputlirc grabbing all key events from
your keyboard and not being able to ctrl-c it.

If you're not running inputlirc with -g though it won't grab the
keyboard and I don't see the need for the filter code of 88.  Could you
add some code to not filter when not grabbed? or set the default to 1
when not grabbed?
