Keyboard

MythTV is really just a UI shell for all the multimedia tools that already existed in linux. The main problem I ran into was that there is no standardization of keyboard shortcuts across MythTV, xine, mplayer and the other tools MythTV uses. Here is my attempt to do so.

THE GOAL

I will use MythTV's default keyboard settings, and try to configure xine to match as closely as possible. Unfortunately mplayer does not do DVD menus so I will avoid using it entirely. Here is a MythTV keyboard reference.

The Important Keys to change in Xine
