I would respectfully have to disagree here.

Not everyone has enough buttons on their remotes to have 
both keys mapped.

It adds another difficult to document "workaround" way to 
get to functionality.

10x10 = 100 minutes - Which would be a drastic change in 
behavior for those already configured in this way.

And in my very humble opinion, Myth already has too many 
confusing shortcuts, as you note above. Adding another one 
does not help this :(

Cheers,

Allan.
