And another important question: What shall Hijack call the buttons?

Here are the names I am considering this minute:

KVolUp, KVolDown, KSeekUp, KSeekDown, KOff, KMode, KAtt, KSel, KDspl, KSource (I got these from the Sony Operating Instructions).

The Up/Down pairs apply regardless of which orientation the unit is mounted. A separate [hijack] parameter will be created for this: "stalk_on_left=1" (default is '0').

Pushing the KVol control "in" will act as a Shift (.S) modifier only.
