Looks like an error on the Wiki:

The keybindings page
(http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Keybindings) is riddled with
errors, I don't even want to begin to pretend that I know enough about
the current keybindings to correct it. Some examples: "M brings up the
electronic program guide (Grid) -- see the EPG section" (M actually
brings up the OSD menu), "Left (if a jump amount is entered) to jump
back that amount" "Left (if a jump amount is entered) to jump back
that amount" "Left starts rewind mode" "Left/Right increases the
ff/rew speed". I think there are some formatting issues that make it
hard to read, but I believe the default option is to enter rewind/ff
mode, and there is no Sticky Keys option anymore (or if there is, can
somebody tell me where to find it? I want to make FF/RW work the way
they used to)

The Use Guide (http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/User_Manual:Daily_Use)
says that M brings up the Menu, like it does.

Can somebody point me to how to find/use the keymapper? I can't find
any reference to it on the wiki, except in the general use of "use a
keymapper". I assume that there is a myth-specific thing?
