Many thanks for your work on this plugin.

I bought a generic remote on Amazon, which turns out to be a version of a HAMA remote. Several keys worked, some in unexpected ways, but many did not work at all. Since several hours of blindly searching (being a new MP user with a brand new HTPC that I just built) was getting me nowhere, and I was about to junk this remote and buy a 'certified' mce one.
Now, using your plugin, almost all the keys are working right in less than an hour.
Do you accept donations, in lieu of my buying a different remote?

There are 2 keys for which I can't set the code, 'power, and 'i - info'.
The power button is already doing what I want after changing some Power Management property settings, and when I press it (with focus in the Key field), the computer goes to S3 standby, as desired.
With the info button, even though focus is in the Key field when I press the button, it brings up a right mouse menu instead of capturing the code. Any suggestions for that one?

Thanks again.
Cal
