Hello! My main (or maybe entire) need in a remote is to learn an IR code, and then to program the remote to send out a continuous signal of that code for about 1 minute when the button is pressed.
From searching the forums, it seems that Pronto software has a "duration" option for IR signals that can be adjusted. But I don't know if other brands do, and I really have no idea where to start in terms of a specific remote.
If it matters, this is for my grandpa's Acorn brand stairlift (the seat that moves up & down the stairs). Right now, he has to stand there holding the remote button for a full minute in order to get the chair in the right place.
Would greatly appreciate any help!

Even an old pronto NG family remote (15+ years old now) would work. Those can be found very cheaply on craigslist or ebay. Look for a Pronto TSU-1000, TSU-3000, TSU-3500, or something like that. It would be inexpensive, very easy to program, and quick to finish your task. Good luck. PM me if you have any other questions.
Also, I don't know of any other inexpensive remotes, old or new, that would allow you to program duration.
