First of all - great job on this cool TV remote card! Main thing I loved was the ability to swap control rows as desired :)
One feature I think would benefit this a lot (specially for Roku users that rely on using remote instead of media_player based controls) is to have a quick toggle that switches the default behavior of the card. I know that this can be accomplished with custom_keys, but it would be nice to have this out of the box. Another option could be to specify the remote entity that controls said media_player.
This is an example of my current card config, and as you can see it's a bit complex since I need to reprogram every key:
