[RWP] Record inputs menu

[Scott Chesworth]

Shoot Tim at SWS a mail, see whether he can cook improve the
functionality. Off the top of my head, I'm imagining something that
ties in with those friendly names or whatever they're called in the
input mappings would be a pretty productive way to handle it from the
end user perspective, because it'd be easy to remember syntax that
way.
