How do I assign an IR code to a direct-access or
left/right key?
The Pronto has two kinds of key definitions: global and per-device. Whenever there is no per-
device definition (or an empty per-device definition), the global definition is used. There is only
one global definition per key, but there is a per-device definition per key for every device and
macro group.
