I'm the one who wrote to Thomas proposing the change to the theme. If
implemented, the change would not affect using LEFT and RIGHT to move
between the group and recording panes in the theme at all. The
proposal is to remove the use, hard-wired into the Mythbuntu theme, of
RIGHT as a synonym for OK/SELECT/MENU and LEFT as a synonym for
ESCAPE.

The issue is to remove an inconsistency within the Mythbuntu
theme. Why does RIGHT sometimes mean OK/SELECT, sometimes mean MENU
(only in the right pane of Watch Recordings and nowhere else), and
sometimes actually mean RIGHT? Why does LEFT sometimes mean ESCAPE and
sometimes mean LEFT? There was a time, years ago, when having RIGHT as
a menu button synonym made some sense because back then mythfrontend
had two separate menus in Watch Recordings, but 0.23 fixed this and
only one menu button is now needed. The proposed change would make
LEFT and RIGHT work as (only) left and right everywhere, consistent
with other themes whether vertical or horizontal-oriented.
