If you have a remote control for your computer (such as those found on television cards with Brooktree® tuners), and your infrared remote control is supported by LIRC, this should work. Like Keyz, the name is unexciting, but the plugin allows you to assign actions to button presses.
To assign an action to a keypress, load the plugin, go to the Infrared Control page in the Noatun configuration window. Select the keypress in the list, and then choose the action to perform with the combo box below. If, in an action like Volume control, you want the action to be performed repeatedly, check the box and select the interval between actions.
If you have a TV card, a convenient trick is to assign the button to Pause, thereby allowing you to mute your TV display application while unpausing Noatun, and vice-versa, particularly useful in the case of commercials.
