but I don't know if this is a good solution. let's
say the VCR is at A
and you want to press 123 and the remote is now
1 at B 2 at A and 3 at B

you press 1, and send 1B, press again to send
1A, then you press 2 and send 2A, and need to
press the 2 a second time, and then the 3 two
times, so it took you 6 presses to go to 123 instead
of 3, and you need to pay attention. I am not
sure how the condition statements work, but that
might be better If val=A then (send 1B val=B)
else (send 1A val=A)

I think you're making a wrong assumption about how things work in RC-5.

Some remotes have a global toggle so when you press 121 you might get 1A 2B 1A.

Some remotes have a local toggle so when you press 121 you might get 1A 2A 1B.

I think I once got information on a device that required the toggles to work exactly as its remote did them, but that is very rare. Most RC-5 devices only need each command to differ from the prior command in either function or toggle.

They not only are equally happy with either "1A 2B 1A" or "1A 2A 1B", but also happy with "1A 2A 1A"

Only "1A 1A" fails and even then the majority will take "1A pause_a_few_seconds 1A".
