yes, I don't want to have a keyboard connected, and I don't need to. There are 
so few options for editing, it would be nice for people who don't want to map 
lots of keys to their keyboard to have:

-Load Commercial Skip List
-Clear All Cut Points
-Queue For Transcode (which I know is in the regular playback menu)
-Jump To Next Commercial Point
-Jump To Previous Commercial Point

Its not bad, I have the arrows for moving around, PageUp/Down are channel up 
and down. The only things *I'm* missing are the load and clear cutpoints and 
begin transcode (which is in the regular menu during playback). It would just 
be nice to have the other options, and whatever future options might become 
available in a menu. In the couple times I've played with it, moving around 
with the remote is as fast as the keyboard, I just can't load commercial 
points.

fine, I've done it twice, so I wouldn't doubt it. But I'm not worried about 
shaving a minute off the total time it takes to setup a cutlist for a show 
and since my commercial flagging is about 90% accurate I have no issues 
loading them and changing them as needed.
