I also found the keybindings table mysterious and hard to debug. 
Certain bindings work fine on my machines but identical settings at my 
sister's place do nothing. Not sure where to start looking either.

How I learned about the table was a few months ago I posted a ticket to 
add 3/9 pageup/down code to a few mythvideo dialogs. The response was 
that it should be done through the keybindings table since that was the 
wave of the future. It makes sense, you shouldn't be rebuilding for 
every little tweak but it's hard to know what is what in that table. 
Some contexts, like "Live TV", are obvious but I have no idea what's a 
"qt" and what isn't. Also, what's the hierarchy?

Anyway, I was posting more as a pointer of the best way to go about 
custom bindings. And, after you figure it out if you could please write 
a wiki entry for the rest of us... ;)
