OK, I played around a bit with the edit keys menu.  What I'm seeing is
that, even though I have keys that are recognized by ir-keytable -t, many
of them are not recognized by the mythtv edit keys menu when I push the
remote button to program the mapping.  Some work, but many do not.  What is
the path forward for keys that are apparently unrecognized?
