An action/button binding ("action") is a connection between a button press and an effect. The effect may be to switch modes, to start a TDE program or to execute a function in a TDE program (using DCOP).
Actions may be associated with a mode of the remote control; if it is, the action will only have effect when the remote control is in that mode. Actions may also be placed out of any mode. Such actions will always have their desired effect no matter what mode that remote control happens to be in.
To add an action/button binding simply use the Add button. Removal may be performed by selecting the action(s) to be removed and clicking the Remove button. Actions may be Edited with the Edit button, and moved to different modes by dragging and dropping onto the desired mode in the remotes/modes list.
Actions may also be "automatically" populated. This handles the instance when you have a supported remote control and you wish to map its buttons to a supported application's functions. TDE LIRC can attempt to match buttons to functions for you; this behaviour may have to be tweaked, however.
