As Robin stated below, look at the source code of a simple mythplugin
(such as MythWeather -
http://cvs.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythplugins/mythweather/mythweather/main.cpp)
and look at how keypresses are dealt with. Once you understand about
how MythWeather handles the remote control, you can explore adding
this functionality to your own plugin.

Pre-existing C++ programming knowledge is a requirement if you aim to
write your own plugins. You should be able to look at the MythTV
source code and work out for yourself how things work. There is also
an assortment of developer documentation on the wiki:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Category:Developer_Documentation.

Good luck!
