Clear description of the problem - try and include as much information as possible, including what button and mappings you are having problems with (if applicable).:

Can XMBC cycle through a group of keys by pressing the same button, for example: i want to cycle through F1 to F5 {F1,F2,F3,F4,F5} when i press the mouse button 4, when i press the first time only F1 is sent, next time i press the F2 will be sent, this will go through all the group of keys and go back to the first in group after the last is pressed.

is it possible? i tried searching in boards and read the FAQ, but did not find any answers

edit: i found a way to do what i want using layer switching in each press

I guess you figured it out already, but just for others who may be looking, yes you can use layers to do this.
Setup the number of layers you want to cycle (max 10). Then for the button on each layer, select simulated keystrokes, enter the key followed by {layer:next} or {layer:<x>} where x is the number of the next layer.
In the final layer in the cycle, use {layer:1}. For all other buttons, leave the action as "same as layer 1" or "no change" whatever applies best to you.
