Hi Tomek,

let me lift this confusion since I am the one responsible for that...

Virtual Keys have been removed because of the following reasons:
First of all I felt that having three click options that only differ in the length of the click weren't really userfriendly because they require a lot of attention to the timing.
The second point would be the quality of the code. It would have needed a lot of work to meet our desire for a better structure of the application and the easier solution was just to delete it because of the third reason.
Which is that the functionality will be restored/replaced by the new MouseGestures feature.

MouseGestures can be activated on the same page of SetupSystem as Virtual Keys before and it works like this:

You press down your finger on the map, move it to the left for a certain distance (depending on the screen size), then you move it downwards and afterwards you move it to the right again. When you release the finger from the touchscreen or mouse you would have "drawn" something that looks similar to the letter "C". However internally you would have drawn the gesture "LDR" (Left-Down-Right).
The current system is able to handle gestures with up to ten movements but at only three movements you already have 84 possible actions that could be triggered. Right now however only these six are implemented and ready for testing:

L (simply try to drag the map to the left) - same action as if you would press the LEFT key on your hardware keyboard (usually drops a marker)
R (simply try to drag the map to the right) - same action as if you would press the RIGHT key on your hardware keyboard (usually switches to aux/fullscreen)
U (simply try to drag the map to the top) - same action as if you would press the UP key on your hardware keyboard (usually zooms in)
D (simply try to drag the map to the bottom) - same action as if you would press the DOWN key on your hardware keyboard (usually zooms out)

DU - opens the main menu
DR - opens the goto waypoint dialog


I hope you understand the concept of this and are willing to test it. I will too. If there are still questions about this please ask!
