[mythtv-users] Re: bindings for special KEY_* keys

[Ian E. Morgan]

Thanks for the hint John. I don't think I'm dense, but I've looked through the
docs for lineak, and can't see how it helps. If it's not too much trouble,
could you clue me in? Are you actually using lineak for something like what
I described?

Regards,
Ian Morgan
