The difficulty is coming up with a standard which works for all boxes and all remotes; given the very large number of possible combinations, in practice this becomes rather difficult. Your focus-sensitive blue button idea sounds rather good, actually - very useful feedback. I'll take that one away, thank you.
I appreciate that button functionality has to cater for all RCs out there although I am surprised that there are some (perhaps not that many?) that do not have PgUp/PgDn (how do those people live? ).

My RC keyboard is one of those remotes and I think it should be supported by the search as it's the very sort of application that the keyboards were intended for.

The context-sensitivity should not apply only to Blue but to Red, Green and Yellow too (or we'll need more coloured buttons! ).
