No, please read my last paragraph again. You shouldn't really need to
edit any of the key bindings. Most of the functions in mythtv are
already bound to a key on the keyboard. They don't have settings or
arguments, they just map to a key press. All of the mythtv settings,
such as the amount to skip, are available in the frontend through the
regular settings menu. You can look on the wiki, look at the key
editor in the frontend, or my preferred method of using mythweb to see
the current key bindings. Then generally you just edit your .lircrc
file so that the remote button maps to the appropriate keyboard key
that mythtv uses for that function.
