        0..n              repeat next command N times
        escape (after n)  cancel N command
        -                 volume down
        =                 volume up

caveats / todo

• only works with the first Roku device it finds on your network.. I only have one device to tests against, unsure what happens otherwise
• search functionality is implemented per Roku docs instructions, doesnt work though
• need a insert mode for text fields
• power off isn't documented.. -.-
• should highlight buttons on CLI screen when pressed
• should highlight numeric keys when N command activated

other

• Roku External Control API.
• only tested on ruby 2.3.1p112 (2016-04-26 revision 54768) [x86_64-darwin15]. probably doesn't work on windows from what I read.
