Problem: Sometimes in Confluence an "Okay" button is physically at the bottom of a screen, but pressing down does not reach it. Instead, the user has to press right or left. Occasionally I even get tripped up on this still and for a moment go "wtf, why is it not going down?"
Solution: Not really sure. Maybe make the "okay" button say something like:
"<-- = Okay" (though that's still not actually true, since you still have to press select for it to actually press Okay).
I'm sure there's lots of little GUI improvements that could be done and tweaked and all that, but this one in particular has always bugged me.

Also, that whole "not seeing files when adding a source" really throws users, too. They come to the fair conclusion that if nothing is listed then something is wrong.

If they could reach OK they wouldn't really have had an issue with the lack of listing I think?
Ideally the OK/Cancel need to be on the left (or right) of the list near the top.

I went through some of the skins we have on the XBMC repo and found 4 that take that approach. Perhaphs one of these could serve as inspiration?

From the above I think XeeBo has it most intuative way, which is select left then action right, IMHO I think this is the most natural way since most cultures read left to right therefore your workflow should be left to right.

That'd definitely work for me. I assume the navigation is switched from moving left to moving right? Or alternatively, it can go both ways?
