I am not sure what the current status of the keymapper is.

I have started doing this in https://github.com/tsoliman/scummvm/tree/maemo-cleanup.
Specifically: https://github.com/tsoliman/scummvm/commit/bafe2bcf60d63e14bfea7e66da12940159ca556c

I've seen that the SamsungTV backend implements SamsungTVSdlEventSource::remapKey(SDL_Event &ev, Common::Event &event)
Is that the unfinished keymapper code?
I can't get this to work; that code never gets hit.

I am going to have to resort to the WinCE "hack" which I am assuming is to override SdlEventSource::pollEvent(Common::Event &event)
But I wanted to verify that the SamsungTV way is broken/unfinished.

Maemo is very much like SamsungTV (as opposed to WinCE) in that it is based on OSystem_POSIX as opposed to OSystem_SDL directly (Maemo is linux)
