True, but there are two behaviors here: wait for an enter key, or change
immediately after you have enough keys. 

Right now myth behaves like a lot of tv's/vcr's and waits for an enter key or
a 3 second delay to change channels, so pressing 1-2-3-4 will take you to
channel 234, not 123. Personally, I hate that behavior, but if there is
anybody who wants it, I could rewrite the patch so that it is an option. 

What do you think? If no one is interested, I can just change the behavior to
always change when you have enough keys?

Cheers,

Alex
