Summary: SIMON: keyboard shortcuts to verbs

Initial Comment:
All scumm games have keyboard shortcuts to player
actions - e.g. 't' for 'talk to'. Simon 1&2 engine does
not implement it (like the original DOS games). I think
lot of players would welcome such shortcuts.

Unfortunately the keyboard layout for Simon is
colliding with the traditional scumm one (e.g. 't'
turns on/off subtitles in Simon games) - it would need
major rework.

I created a simple patch (see attached, just for
inspiration :), which maps keys like scumm, but only
capital letters ('T' instead of 't'). You have to play
with caps lock on :)
