The "media" key is tied to the M key functionality by default for me.
I added the "w" keypress manually under keybindings using a non-used key.
The only other thing I did was re-map ChanUp/Down to PageUp/Down..
I use a harmony programmable though, so I can easily add/remove keys
and remap them. I guess it all depends on what is on your remote
physically as to what you can do..
