Feature Request : more buttons for dpad, keypad, media

[kalhimeo]

As it's possible to customize or hide any buttons by config, it would be nice be able to use more available space in the card by putting more buttons around the dpad, keypad and media.

Maybe an even deeper change could be to drop the actual card structure and just let users create custom rows of buttons with variable number of buttons. Example for a DPAD :

• row 1 : button 1 = empty , button 2 = dpad_up, button 3 = empty
• row 2 : button 1 = dpad_left , button 2 = dpad_center , button 3 = dpad_right
• row 3 : button 1 = empty , button 2 = dpad_down, button 3 = empty

For those who would want to do the same thing, until a better/proper way is maybe one day added, I was able to create the above screenshot by using 2 harmony cards and changing the icons and commands of the buttons :
