[mythtv-users] key binding standards?

Turn on the "use keyboard accelerators" option in mythmusic.  It will give
you bindings for all of the features (Next [down arrow], Prev [up arrow], FF
[right arrow], REW [left arrow], Repeat, Shuffle, Edit Playlist, Turn on
visualizations, Toggle Time Display [number keys 1-5]), as well as get rid
of the row of buttons.

I understand that a comprehensive mythmusic UI rework is in progress, using
the new theme infrastructure.

Craig Longman & I are currently working on a new runtime-configurable user
action (keybindings & other external control) architecture for Myth.
