Re: remote buddy functions?!

Hi Felix, 
Thanks for the speedy reply! 
although involking the virtual keyboard is a solution, i would prefer to just be able to press the modifiers with the remote without popping the keyboard up first(this is why apples sticky keys icons are so useful!) Plus whenever i try to program the hold buttons they always revert to curser key up/down etc, even when i change the default curser key up option to any other action, for eg the toggle shift option, it still reverts to being curser key up when the virtual keyboard is showing?? 
Also the virtual keyboard 'toggle modifier key' actions dont appear in the default behaviour option or any of the other app behaviour options,only a limited list appears without the modifier key actions-unlike the complete list of actions that appear in the virtual keyboard behavious option?! 
So i think the only way round is to make custom actions for the default behaviours and other app behaviours for the button mapping, but im still having problems with this, ive managed to make custom actions for all the modifier keys (shift, ctrl, alt, cmnd) by checking their relevent checkboxs without anything else in the keystroke field (which by the way, you cant do in any other program ive found!) and this creates the right keys i need but whenever i press the remote button to activate a modifier all actions except for the ctrl action seem to press another key automatically to create a keystroke before ive entered a key myself! 
i have each action set to single key press between press and release with auto repeates, i dont know if this is causing my problems because i dont really understand what it means!(as with the other operation options!) 
bassically i just want to click a remote button to activate a hold modifier key until i choose another key(draw letter) to create a keystroke, Please Help!! 
Thanks, 
acam 
ps i dont think i have the kernal thingy installed if that helps!
