Hi Corpernicus, great work with the keyset search! I am now able to control my "cheap" Sony label TV with the Haier TV keyset 1. However, the keyset does not provide all keys that my tv can receive.
So after the "searchbypower" feature, I would I like to request a "search by everything" feature, that is to emits all keys from all keysets. Because 'power' button for this device may be 'volume up' button for another one.So user can use keys from various keysets and macro to make their own keyset for a particular device.
I hope my point is clear enough
Thank you a lot and great job!

It looks like "Konka" is another possible brand with matching keysets, I'll grab those too.)

And yeah, if I ever do get everything working, the macro system should certainly be a way to work around keyset deficiencies (and Pierogi bugs) by allowing you to construct your own buttons.
Edit: wow, convoluted corporate histories here. Looks like Aiwa was going bankrupt in the early 2000s, until it was bought out by Sony in 2002. However, Sony apparently didn't find the brand all that useful to them, so they seem to have slowly killed it off. Haier, on the other hand, is a giant Chinese firm working to break into the consumer electronics market; it seems that they may have started by working with other firms (like Aiwa), but nowadays manufacture their own TVs. So anyway, that's how a Sony TV might be using an Aiwa protocol, and might work with a Haier keyset.

I used to like original Aiwa stuff.
Have found a few Sony remotes working Aiwa and vice-versa.
Tested the Macro's sat right on top of the TV and it's the same intermittent issue.
I can't test with the Power Search at all as it not working, coming up will error messages like "lirc busy" on every press; even after restarting.
What I was saying with the keyboard would not effect the "multitap". I was thinking from the POV that the multitap would eventually become a "mode" and the whole keyboard would be used for typing.
Whereas all the other tab menus would follow set keyboard hotkeys.
LIke QWERTY for the tabs, ZXCVBN for the macros and M, Space, Up, down, Left and Right for the "main" tab features.
Obviously this is all IMO of course.

killall pierogi seems to have fixed it for now.
It said no process killed but no buttons worked before killall, it now functions as before.
The Macro is still playing up not pressing enough sleep commands and select seems to get missed off most times.
Power Search works again after killall and my LG TV switches on and off two or three times even on non LG keysets (I guess it's the same command on another keyset).
Yes, the way I see it, tabs/hotkeys would change for each panel.
So for the AC Panel only "QW" are active but for Universal Panel "QWERTY"
Much in line with task switcher in CSSU and OMP, like already mentioned.
I hope my bug reports are helping work out these issues above.
Any other things you need me to test/try let me know.

(Also, LG is a company formed by the merger of "Lucky" and "Goldstar", so all the Goldstar keysets tend to be compatible with LG keysets.)Yes, the way I see it, tabs/hotkeys would change for each panel.

Very possible; I should be able to rearrange the panels a bit to add more functionality. I should probably set up a specific collection of panels for the DVR/Satellite/DTT/etc. set-top boxes...
BTW, now that macros are available (although barely usable), you might be able to set up one of the "user defined" keys to be the HDD key. (You can find it near the bottom of the "Input Keys" category, if you're brave enough to try.

Sorry about that. Let me check my sources again, I probably missed it...Edit: Oops, you said "Cisco 8485DVB", right? That should be "Cisco Keyset 1". There is an "HD" key in that set, but I thought it was for "HDMI" input.
Sorry about that, I'll remap it...
