Comment (by Mitch Capper <mitch.capper@…>):

 In thinking about this a bit more I find it would be useful to be able to
 get and edit key bindings via the services API.  Maintenance for the code
 should be fairly low, it allows for easier configuration of remotes like
 http://www.amazon.com/Ortek-Windows-Infrared-Receiver-
 Ultimate/dp/B00224ZDFY/ too, and the ability to do things like duplicate
 control setup (or partial setup) between frontends quite easily.

 I think there is something of a goal to have 3rd party clients able to be
 first class members of mythtv without having to resort to mythprotocol or
 direct SQL manipulation.

 It sounds like using this in concert with SendKey is not really
 recommended, to which (assuming others agree) that means we need to fix
 SendAction to make sure it works for all actions possible (reachable via
 SendKey that is). If others agree I can try to fix that and submit a
 separate PR for it.
