There are several sections of the configuration. The list on the left details the remote controls and modes. The selection of that dictates the contents of the right-most list, which shows button/action bindings. Flicking the main tab over to Loaded Extensions will show a list of applications and remote controls that are recognised for the advanced functionality; some data is also viewable by selecting one of the items.
Each remote control can have a number of modes. Having multiple modes allows the same button to conduct different actions in difference situations, and is how many remote controls handle many different appliances with a limited number of buttons. A good example are the TV/Video/Satellite/DVD multi-purpose remote controls - rather than having several sets of number buttons for each appliance they have only one set which works for the currently selected appliance only.
Each remote control can be in at most one mode at once (it may also be in no mode at all). The remote control also has a "default mode", which is the mode that it starts in, and the mode that it gets reset to normally. This may be set by using the Edit button.
The list contains any remote controls detected on your system. Modes may be added and removed by selecting the desired remote control and using the buttons directly below the list Add, Remove. Modes may be renamed "inline" in the standard TDE fashion by first selecting the mode in the list box, and then clicking it again after a short pause. The Edit button allows mode names to be edited, and also allows you to define an icon that will show up in the system tray when that mode is entered.
