> I'm worried that we might run out of keys eventually :) We're far from that. Look at all the shortcuts TiVo uses with their minimal remote. The meaning of a button changes based on the context. For example, clear is used to clear any display options from the live tv feed. but it's also used to bring up the delete action for an item when selected. Same goes for enter...its used to enter the buffer of numbers you've entered to jump to a channel (2...1...<enter>). But it's also used to get you to the expanded program data menu when you have an item selected (like the imdb details or the music track details).
So there is lots we can do with a small amount of keys.
