Hi,

I'm very sorry for the late reply. Hope you are still interested in it.

Apart from that the whole file seems to be quite messed up, the type QString is 
working fine here. After I fixed all the other syntax errors and the file gets 
actually loaded, I can see the parameter as a string.

Defining multiple buttons does not really make sense. You should set up your 
remote control properly to report buttons defined by in the lirc namespace (use 
"irrecord -l" to see all defined buttons.

Adding buttons in the .xsd file won't work as they are defined somewhere else 
(In the C++ code when they are mapped from lirc namespace buttons). Also there 
is no reason to add those buttons as they are all duplicate (e.g. there is no 
need to define a button "Ch+" if there is already one named "ChannelUp"...). 
Rather you should change your lircd.conf to match the buttons to the buttons 
defined in the namespaces. Once you name your button KEY_CHANNELUP in 
lircd.conf, it will automatacally be recognized in KRemoteControl as 
ChannelUp.

I won't start adding random buttons. If I add Ch+ and Ch-, tomorrow another 
user will appear which buttons are named "Chan+" and "Chan-". This will end up 
in a big mess. This mess has also been recognized by the lircd developers and 
they have introduced the namespaces to solve it. While it is still possible to 
define free form strings in lircd.conf, you are strongly adviced to update your 
lircd.conf to make use of the namespaces.

If you have an original lircd.conf file that came with lirc, fix it using the 
namespaces and submit it to the lirc project.

There are, however 3 valid button requests to be added as known buttons by 
KRemoteControl: 
- Go (KEY_GOTO)
- Record (KEY_RECORD)
- PreviousChannel (KEY_PREVIOUS)

I will see if I can add them when I have time.

Br,
Michael
