Not really a conscious design AFAIC, but there has been at least one failed attempt to change this. The failed attempt didn't keep in mind that MythTV is a cross-platform application and tied keyboard input too tightly with Linux.
If you want to work on the LIRC code, may I suggest that a better way to setup MythTV for the user's particular remote may be a better first step? Perhaps have the user choose a picture of a remote best matching theirs and then highlighting each key in the image of the remote and have the user press that button, then you could have some defaults for each button that the user could change by cursoring to the button on the on screen picture of a remote, selecting the button, and choosing a function from a combo box. Right now you need to program LIRC with the buttons on your remote with a text file and a command line utility, then map each button to a key that corresponds to some function in MythTV with another text file, and only then do you run into the problem that remapping keys to different functions means that you must fix-up that second text file... -- Daniel
