Navigating between days in program guide

In 0.21 and previous versions it was possible to move to the next day
in the program guide screen by pressing 1 (and I think 7 was previous
day). How do you do that in 0.22? I can't find it in the user guide or
wiki.

There are two keybinding for that DAYLEFT (HOME, 7) and DAYRIGHT (END,
1). HOME and END will always work but 7 and 1 will only work if the
'Allow Channel Jumping in Guide' setting is turned off. Unfortunately
there was a bug, which I've just fixed in trunk, introduced some time
ago which meant that the setting was always on so you could never use
the number keys for those bindings.

That's probably one setting that could be removed to avoid confusion but
I'll leave that up to the settings assassins ;-)

Also, for Phil, the keys.txt (
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythtv/keys.txt#L182) and HOWTO
( http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-11.html#ss11.1 , under EPG)
tend to be mostly correct (and are, in this case, correct--except don't
provide the extra info Paul provided). If anyone finds anything wrong
in there, please let me know, and I'll update it.

This setting assassin is all for removing it (which would mean it's
always enabled, right?).

Allow channel jumping in guide
If enabled, you will be able to press numbers and jump the selection to
whatever channel you enter.

Yep, if the setting was removed then you would have the number keys
always jump to a matching channel. That would of cause mean you could
never then use the number keys to scroll in the grid. I don't have a
problem with that but others who don't have spare buttons on their
remote might. We could probably add some menu options to compensate for
that if we can find room for them, that menu is already quite full.
Maybe a sub menu with some scroll options line 'Page Right', 'Day Right'
etc?

That works for me--but, admittedly, I have room for PgUp/PgDown/Home/End
on my remote. I'd even be happy to add the menu options in.

Sorry - I even looked at the HPWTO before posting this so I don't know
how I missed that! Apologies.

I'm still a little confused about what to do now, though, given the
bug that Paul Harrison mentioned. If I don't have home/end keys on my
remote does that mean I can't do this until his patch comes through
the releases and package maintainers (ATrpms in my case)? Or can I do
some sort of manual update to settings in the DB to fix it until then?

Regards,
Phill

He fixed code, so you'll have to wait for the new code to get pushed out
or use Utilities/Setup|Edit Keys to change the binding DAYLEFT/DAYRIGHT
in TV Frontend context to some other (non-numeric) key (other than
Home/End) that you do have on your remote.

I've just done a "yum update" and updated MythTV from the ATrpms repo,
but the problem still seems to be there. My version number is
0.22-226. Do you know what version of 0.22 this found its way into for
those of us not running trunk, or is it only going to be fixed in
0.23?

It's fixed in trunk. It's not backported to 0.22-fixes. It may not be
backported as we're preparing for the feature freeze for 0.23.
