Ah yes, mouse emulation. I have a replacement ADB subsystem that lets 
you define which keys to translate into mouse events, should probably 
just commit and label it as experimental.

Indeed. Looks like whoever wrote this map tried to make an Apple 
keyboard feel like a PC keyboard - I'll fix that.

Hmm, it should at least generate an event of some sort, even if it's 
not translated to anything useful. Got to figure out which actual 
scancode it sends.

Probably same as mine then - bought in Germany with an 'international 
keyboard'. For all I know it's identical to the US variant apart from 
cosmetics like Alt vs. Option.

have fun
