I'm glad you've had some luck!

I received an email back from Logitech saying they'd modified my raw versions of Escape and Enter to be button 'presses', which didn't work very well in the slightest. However, I also had some luck by finding this forum post on the AVForums.

Configuring Logitech Harmony + Antec iMon LCD + IR Receiver - AVForums.com

I followed it through last night, and it works perfectly! This guy has basically took the next step from what we'd determined, in removing the Enter and Escape commands from the equation. He's assigned every Harmony key to a random function on the iMon remote, and used that random function in the iMon manager to equate to a ctrl+letter combo. He's then used the Keyboard Input Plugin in Mediaportal to attribute these button combinations to a command or window.

I hadn't used the mod before, as I'd stuck with Shortcuter, but it's extremely powerful. Everything does what is expected, and the ability to select any combination of button presses for simple commands is superb. For example, i added one extra command to his setup which attributed ctrl+B to the Fullscreen key, which was mapped to the Previous button on the Harmony. I then set Ctrl+B to act as the 'Previous Menu' option in the plugin, and hey presto, Ctrl+B acts identically to Escape, without the multiple input problem.

If you are struggling, or you find other buttons on your remote play up (I used to struggle to get my 'F9' context menu to remain open), give this guide a go! The guide should be reposted here somewhere, as it's Mediaportal specific and gets round a problem that seems relatively common.
