keyboard shortcuts

mediate is principally designed for use with a remote control, but for evaluation purposes it also supports use of a standard PC keyboard.

mediate includes a number of different profiles for mapping keypresses to appropriate commands within mediate. The default mapping is suitable for use with a keyboard and the Streamzap remote control and uses the shortcuts listed below.
