It might be possible to come up with several different key mappings that work and
give the player the option to choose between them...but it's quite hard to find
mappings that work for more than a couple of players.

One thing that complicates matters is that some international keyboards have
different restrictions from US keyboards - also, some 'unusual' keyboards like
the more costly ergonomic ones have different restrictions.

This is a VERY nasty problem.
