Would be perfect.

Another Idea... I have many own commands in commands.conf (~30)
an i always add some (so many ideas).

If i want to use i.e. command 25 i have to scroll through the whole list.

It would be nice if i could select commands like channels,
if i want to use command 25 i have to tap '2' and '5' in a
definite time, if i only tap '2' command 2 will be used after
0.5 sec or 1 sec (exactly like switching channels).

But same like my question before: Just a idea wich would make
using vdr a bit more perfect, nothing to spend much time for
in programming if it's to complicated.
