Customize the infrared remote button's positions on the screen using tables

[Questwalker]

Describe the enhancement you're suggesting.

Currently, custom infrared remotes only display their button in a long list on the screen. This is a unattractive way to sort the buttons, so I propose that some optional settings row, column, rowspan, and columnspan can be added to each button that will allow users to customize the positions of the buttons on the screen using a table-like system.

These settings should only be optional, in order to support backward compatibility.

For example:

Filetype: IR signals file
Version: 1
# 
name: POWER
# 
name: Vol+
column: 0
columnspan: 1.5
# 
name: Vol-
column: 1.5
columnspan: 1.5
# 
name: SOURCE
column: 0
columnspan: 2
# 
name: MT
column: 2
# 
name: OK
column: 0
row: 3
rowspan: 2
# 
name: RE
row: 3
column: 2
# 

Would create something similar to this:

Anything else?

I have created this to mimic the ways other graphics tools create tables. I understand if this kind of approach is not possible, but I would at least like some way to compact and arrange the buttons on the remote interface in order to make the experience easier to use.

There's quite a few apps that make infrared signals easier to use, check out Xremote, Quac!, CrossRemote, IR Remote. In regards to this feature request in particular, I think it's too much complexity for the added benefit it brings, considering those apps I mentioned already provide good alternative approaches. It's a no from me, but feel free to ask upstream if you're not satisfied with the alternatives

You mentioned Quac!. I have Momentum-3 installed and the Quac! found under Apps/SubGhz crashes when run with a null pointer dereference.

Quac is in apps > tools, also please update to version 004
