[mythtv-users] Can I bind a keypress to a specific action in "watch recordings"?

In the main > media library > watch recordings screen, I can activate a job
(in my case high quality lossless transcoding) on a recording by placing the
cursor on that recording and then going through a boring sequence of
submenus: left arrow (main submenu), down down down down down (for job
options), left arrow (transcoding or commercial flagging?), left arrow
(transcoding flavour submenu), down down (high quality), left (to actually
DO it).

Now, that's fine when you're doing it for ONE recording, but a major
nuisance when you want to do it for a batch of 50 or so. How nice it would
be if I could just define one single keypress to invoke that specific
action, in the way that e.g. the d key brings up the option to delete the
recording. Can this be done? How?

Alternatively, is there a way of selecting a bunch of 50 files and then
saying "do this action on all of them"?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

NB I don't want the transcoding to happen automatically after recording
because it has to wait until I get round to defining a cutlist to remove the
head, tail and commercials for the newly recorded shows.
