I have been sitting on a number of architectural enhancements for 
runtime-configurable context-sensitive keybindings (and other forms of user 
control, i.e. FIFO, LIRC, etc).  However, nothing has progressed past the 
drawing board stage due to real life intrusions, plus the fact that my only 
computer at the moment happens to be my Myth box which is in my living room, 
hooked up to my TV, making even this email a less-than-convenient task, let 
alone any serious coding.  If anyone would like to discuss this further, 
please contact me off-list.

One topic of note (for those of you not subscribed to the CVS commits list) is 
that the add-on modules are in the process of finally being converted to 
plugins.  This is/was (IMHO) a crucial step that needed to be taken in order 
to allow the implementation of a truly powerful, robust and consistent 
keybinding/user action mechanism.  We'll get there eventually...
