I have previously tried "edit keys" and was able to map a couple additional buttons.
However, for some buttons (like the 4 color buttons at the bottom of the remote)
when I go into edit keys and select the function I want to map to and select an
empty slot and it asks me to press the key on the remote, I do, and then nothing
happens.  The buttons that I really miss are pause and the 4 color buttons.
