I altered my menu layout also but i find 'jumppoints' are the best way to
get to a destination (e.g. Program Guide) by simply pressing one key on the 
remote.

Jumppoints are not mentioned very often and google did'nt turn up anything
very instructive. So here are the destinations in my 'jumppoints' table:

| destination                        | keylist | hostname |
+------------------------------------+---------+----------+
| Program Guide                      | F5      | slack5   | 
| Program Finder                     | F4      | slack5   | 
| Manage Recordings / Fix Conflicts  | F6      | slack5   | 
| Program Recording Priorities       |         | slack5   | 
| Channel Recording Priorities       |         | slack5   | 
| TV Recording Playback              | F2      | slack5   | 
| TV Recording Deletion              | F9      | slack5   | 
| Live TV                            |         | slack5   | 
| Manual Record Scheduling           |         | slack5   | 
| Main Menu                          | F1      | slack5   | 
| Live TV In Guide                   |         | slack5   | 
| Status Screen                      | F7      | slack5   | 
| Previously Recorded                | F8      | slack5   | 
| MythVideo                          |         | slack5   | 
| Video Manager                      |         | slack5   | 
| Video Browser                      |         | slack5   | 
| Video Listings                     |         | slack5   | 
| Video Gallery                      |         | slack5   | 
| Reload Theme                       |         | slack5   | 
| Play DVD                           |         | slack5   | 
| Play VCD                           |         | slack5   | 
| Rip DVD                            |         | slack5   | 
| Netflix Browser                    |         | slack5   | 
| Netflix Queue                      |         | slack5   | 
| Netflix History                    |         | slack5   | 
| MythGallery                        |         | slack5   |

Edit the keylist to map a key of your choice to any destination listed,
then edit the remote control config file 'lircrc' to map e.g. the  F5 key 
to the "Guide" button on my MCE RC6 remote control. Now the 
'Program Guide menu' is just one key press (remote control or keyboard) 
from anywhere.

I updated the 'jumppoints' table directly in mysql, but if you have the
mythcontrols plugin installed then you should be able to "Edit Keys" from
within Mythfrontend.
