Add Vim bindings to local network Roku devices

---

This project uses the Roku external control API (https://developer.roku.com/docs/developer-program/debugging/external-control-api.md)

It automatically scans the local network for Roku devices and lets you control them from your terminal, using common Vim bindings.

Includes text input (insert mode), media control and device/media information.

---

Decided to revive this and fix some of the rendering issues. Uses curses for rendering.

Installation

From PyPI

Notes

Roku has disabled network remote support by default on newer devices. You'll have to enable them.

From the home screen go to Settings > System > Advanced System settings > Control by mobile apps > Network Access and change the setting to "Enabled". A warning will come up, select "Yes, allow".

HTTP requests are handled with requests; no additional system libraries are required. The curses UI requires a real TTY; some IDE terminals or non-interactive shells may fail.
