Remote control only using direct keys

I have HDMI CEC working pretty well with Jivelite on Linux but there are
some limitations around key mapping.

The direction (left/right/up/down) keys work well but the media control
(play/pause/stop) are not recognised.
I know that the real way to improve this is to unpick all of the
mapping/remapping that goes on in the layers between the CEC handling
and Jivelite ... I tried once and it was painful and I was not
successful.

So - thinking about a different way to do it.
Given that the "Right" key works from the Now Playing screen to get to
the menu ... I wonder how feasible it would be to put
Play/Pause/Stop/Shuffle into the menu the Jivelite shows.
It could be a bit clever - so only show Play if currently not playing
and Pause/Stop only if currently playing

Would this be something that LMS plugin could readily do or is it best
done in LMS itself or in Jivelite source?
