But I'm not worried about shaving a minute off the total time it takes to setup a cutlist for a show and since my commercial flagging is about 90% accurate I have no issues loading them and changing them as needed. -- Steve ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Map them to keys you do have mapped that don't apply to that mode. Kevin ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I'm not sure if this was the default mapping, but the keys that I use for SKIPCOMMERCIAL and SKIPCOMMBACK (Z/Q) are also mapped to LOADCOMMSKIP and CLEARMAP. Since I already had those keys mapped on my remote, and I don't need them while EDITING, I figure it's a good fit. You also could overload your PageUp and PageDown keys to something else... you're not using channel switching while editing. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Well, I'm using Home and End so I can use the same button to jump around by a full day in the EPG. I will most likely map them to one of my LCD buttons, but again, it would help those that want to have minimal buttons on their remote.

[mythtv-users] Edit Mode overlay menu?
is there a menu for the edit mode such that I don't have to learn all the keys to my remote? I can't find a keymapping for one in the docs, but I've noticed that doesn't mean much for SVN... -- thanks, Steve ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
