[Scummvm-devel] Introduction - Maemo port

[Lars Persson]

Hi and welcome!
 
I just wanted to point out that the Win CE and Symbian code share some keymapping features today, and it would be great if it could be improved to fit more purposes for other platforms (such as the Maemo). 
 
Currently its a little bit of a hack, since the way of simulating the mapped keyevents is done abit differently between Win CE and Symbian ports, but otherwise the UI (key dialog), logic (for mapping), settings etc is all the same.
 
best regards
