volume up/down/mute are the exception rather than the rule
try using myth for a while with a remote and you will pretty soon find
how difficult it is.
not that is not getting easier. the multirec merge made it a whole lot
easier to switch tuners/inputs
but there are a whole lot of keys which are only defined for one usage.
for a button challenged remote, this can get quite difficult.
not that this proposal solves this problem. i realise that. but it does
make the process of finding a mapping just that little bit easier.
anyway, you can all tell me i'm talking rubbish; but that is my opinion.
