Comment (by Jim Stichnoth <stichnot@…>):

 Updated with new mythtv and mythweb patches that add similar multi-key
 binding support for jump points.

 The jumppoints table needs to be modified before using this patch.  As
 before, unpatched code will still work with the updated database.  The
 complete mysql is:

 {{{
 ALTER TABLE keybindings ADD COLUMN multikey varchar(128) default NULL;
 ALTER TABLE jumppoints ADD COLUMN multikey varchar(128) default NULL;
 }}}

 To simplify the code, the original single-key bindings are now treated as
 non-special cases of multi-key bindings.

 To maintain a good user experience, if the current queued input sequence
 ends with a single-key jump point action, the jump point takes precedence
 and is immediately handled.

 Because of the nontrivial interplay between jump points and regular
 bindings (specifically, the possibility that a jump point with a local
 action with the same key binding will be treated as the local action
 rather than the jump point action), MythMainWindow::TranslateKeyPress()
 had to be largely refactored/rewritten.
