Since every host keyboard is different (especially between PCs and
Macs), and the key mappings might have been changed via a configuration
file anyway, the right solution would be to have a possibility in the
GUI to remap the ST keys interactively, and not to show a hard-coded
mapping that might not be true anyway. But that's a lot of work ... so
patches are welcome ;-)
