That's a good feature; its more difficult to change some things on the 
Amiga, like menus, etc., after compiling.  There's nothing that does that
automatically, yet.  Of course, I can change the keymaps from the CLI via
the SetMap command; we have several US maps, including Dvoark, along with
various European maps, with support for dead keys.  The mapping is done
automatically from any open console, and that includes ANSI style output
to support more than the normal 256 logical keys.  Or I can instead pass raw 
key codes to the key mapping function, allowing my program to intercept key
combinations that wouldn't otherwise appear in a key map.
