[mythtv] mythtv-keys.sxc: a spreadsheet of key bindings

[Reza Naima]

I would really like to see the addition of some pop-up screen (that is 
context-defendant) where various sub functions can be scrolled through 
and edited with just the arrow keys.   For example, if pressed while 
viewing TV, it would allow you to configure all the video settings like 
contrast, etc.  However, as I still dont understand how the GUI code 
works, I can't contribute yet.

I have been meaning to add a 'key' abstraction layer to let the end user 
have the ability to configure key mappings (probably through an xml 
file), but I haven't gotten to that yet..
