Comment(by paulh):

 This looks OK apart from using left/right key presses to toggle the
 selection because it means you have to scroll to the top or bottom of the
 list to move the focus to another widget which is a pain for big lists
 like those used in MythMusic and it actually breaks the search dialog used
 in MythMusic's metadata editor and probably other places too.

 I've been testing it using select to toggle the selections and keeping the
 left/right keys as they. Any objections to doing it this way for now?

 I do agree that it would be better to consistently use the same keys to
 change focus. My personal view is it would be better to use two keys, lets
 say left/right, to always change the focus not just in the settings but
 also in the themed dialogs. The select key should always activate the
 current widget, toggle selections in a listbox, toggle check boxes,
 activate buttons etc. The up/down keys should move the current items in
 lists, change the selection in combo's, toggle check boxes etc.

 Maybe that's something to think about while doing the UI update?
