It appears to be pretty easy.  Just reorder some things in
TranslateKeyPress().  I'll defer to those who use jump points, though,
whether or not this is desirable.

This isn't too far from what I've been pondering since the subject
came up again.  John, if you're still around and interested in this
change, please update it to current SVN and I'll work to get it into
SVN.

There are two, small additions I would like to see.  First, allow for
more levels of subcontexts in TranslateKeyPress().  For example, "TV
Playback/Live/Foo" would check "TV Playback/Live/Foo", "TV
Playback/Liv", "TV Playback" and "Global", in that order.  Second, add
a dbcheck.cpp section to fixup any existing bindings that get moved to
subcontexts.
