Isn't it true that all terminals already do the necessary key-code
processing so that they can send key events to the core code in mouse.c?

For example, does  "mouselabels.dem" work on MSWin?   That demo reads
keystrokes in the plot window, turns them into labels in the core code, and then
replots with the new label.   If the demo works, it shows that keycodes including
the space-key are correctly transmitted to the core code.
