So now that you have this awesome remote control companion<\/a>, there is still one underlying problem. Your application quits, or you want to run a different app, but you don’t want to whip out a mouse or keyboard, yuck!<\/p>\n

Solution: Alauncher <\/a><\/p>\n

Alauncher<\/a> is a free lightweight app that does one simple thing; enter some keyboard shortcut, a list of applications popup.<\/p>\n

Here is how to link it up with flirc.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Add some applications you would like in your quick launch list<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now head over to the terminal, and type in:<\/p>\n

flirc record_api 1 4<\/p>\n

Press the button on your remote you’d like to link with ctrl+a and presto. Your remote control will now bring up the application launcher like the following:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
