LIRC supports several helper programs, of which irxevent is just one:

remote

By default, LIRC supports some simple controls; for example:

  prog=remote

  button=KEY_UP

  config=UP

This will provide simple cursor control from a remote (UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, and also ENTER) that are perfect for simple menu control.

irxevent

Emulates button clicks and key presses within X applications. You can specify that the key event occurs in the CurrentWindow or in a specific window by name, that is, leafpad. This only works if you are running from the graphical desktop environment (or using X forwarding).
