This would be a nice addon, especially if it had all of the keys in keys.txt
mentioned in it. All I did was print the keybindings page from MythWeb and
that wasn't too useful -- no descriptions (didn't realise keys.txt was there
at the time).

This would be very handy. I can think of a list of sites you could use, the
simplest thing I can suggest is a search box on mythweb which can aggregate
search results from Google (pass the query + site:mythtv.info, etc).
If you do this make sure you put gossamer-threads in there as a source, they
Have the most info.
Also I agree that there should be a single Help button on each screen of the
frontend (F1) but I don't expect you want to go there.
