Great minds think alike. I already did that one a few minutes ago.

There's actually only a few keyboard keys where this is an issue.

Another stickler I mentioned above. In lirc both the left arrow key on the
remote and the skip back key (the circular left arrow) sent a left. I'm
looking in the actual keybinding settings in Mythweb and can't seem to see
the name of a seperate command for jumping back a few seconds that I could
assign another key to.
