Ok I did modify mythlistbutton however it does not behave as I expected.
I need to find out why...

I even didn't know that 0-9 bindings were in use (in fact 3 and 9 isn't
it ?)
My intention wasn't to modify this but to modify for menu type dialog
such as main menu (mythmenuthemed at the moment) and menu such as the
one in watch recording, info dialog to be able to do I-> 3 to mark as
wathed or delete a recording I -> 8 -> 2
The problem is those menu a contextual ie if the program is currently we
will have a button "stop recording" which put the "mark as watched" in
4th position when it is usually in 3r position.
What are the plan for such menu ? It would be nice to fix the entry in
those menu so the "mark as watched" is always 4th and "stop recording"
3th but invisible when not available.
Same kind of problem in delete menu with "Delete and allow re-record",
"Delete it" and "No, I keep it.."
Navigation would be much more efficient and still work without a keypad.
A visual feed back would be nice to to know the number associate to the
menu item.
Any thought ?
