I like the idea of the space key as well.

Yeah, Space / Return / KP_Enter all do the same thing in myth.

I'll have to look through the source to see if Space is doing anything
in LiveTV mode.

I don't think that enter does anything at the moment while watching tv,
any reason to add a new key?
 
Looks like an interesting modification.  Good luck

Their really isn't a "Enter" key in myth.  There is a select key, but
thats used.  We talked about it on the channel a bit last night and
here's what we came up with:

Key: H
Functionality: As user changes channels, build a sort of "Channel
History" (Think browser back button like).  When the user hits the H key
once, go back to the previous channel.  When the user hits the H key
twice in quick succession (I think I'll set key spacing to require < .75
seconds between hits) go to the second channel back.

What are everyone else's thoughts on this?  Do people want it like this,
or just the simple press H and it swaps channels?

Isaac, is key "H" being planned for anything else?  Would you prefer I
use a different key?

I'll start coding this up tonight if people want this.

I don't have a TiVo, but I notice that they have a "press enter to go
back to the previous channel" function. (according to their website)

I was thinking about writing "Previous Channel" functionality.  Maybe
you could beat me to it? :-)
