[mythtv-users] Want suggestions for MythGallery UI

[Albert Santoni]

Wow! These new features sound great!

There's just one thing - your key bindings!

Can you try to make the key bindings use the same keys that regular MythTV
uses (for those of us with remotes?) Some of the keys you described below
are already bound to things in MythTV, so it'll save us binding new stuff on
our remotes.

Thanks!
