Found the vim user ;)

That remote control is how I explain modal interfaces to people when they can't understand how my editor works.

What was modal about the remote? Switching between TV/display/audio while the main set stays the same?

Yeah. The same buttons do different things, but what they'll do depends which mode you've got selected. If you remember the remotes where it blinks an LED under the selected mode (tv/aux/DVD/whatever) as you're giving input with other buttons, that's a helpful reference.
