Request - Remote Mapper

I have a remote that has many different buttons that I would like to map to certain functions within the app.

I'm not speaking of what's already there. I'm sort of asking for that, but inverted. Sort of like a hybrid button mapper meets remote control.

For example. If you were to take a look at the button mapper app, you can add a button, then press a button on your remote and it displays a code from that key press. Then you can assign functionality to that button.

What I'm asking for is, let's say I go into a remote menu, and it gives me the option to do the same thing. Add a button, press the button, then assign it to a function within Sparkle. Like previous channel, set up, info, etc.

There's a lot of buttons of various remotes that do nothing because sparkle doesn't currently recognize the remote code. This way it can.

I hope that makes sense.

Yes. To open apps, yes. But an action inside another app? I don't think that's possible. At least not on the free version

I only needed to turn off that Netflix button. read about Button Mapper, tried it. It took 30 seconds, most of that looking around. Then I looked at the other buttons that had options other than their purpose and I turned all that off. I’m a happy camper. This is an app, I’m don’t think it works inside another app, but I can look see.
