Keyboard #737

Hi Dirk,

I am concerned you are removing the support for the touch bar, for a lot of users will still be using Macs that still have the touch bar. I also haven't been able to figure out what the key is for c64 "restore"? An idea might be to display the keyboard key or key combination for the Mac when the user hovers the mouse point over the c64 key on the keyboard dialog on a line at the bottom of the dialog or something? Lastly, It would be nice if the c64 run stop was mapped to the esc key or in general use the same keys as Vice consistence all is ways is nice users.

Ben.

Touch Bar support is unlikely to come back. There are two reasons for this. The first one is simple: My current development machine doesn't have a TouchBar any more, so I can't test this feature. The second reason is that I don't want to spend too much time on Mac-only features any more. This is because I'm still thinking about moving away from the Mac platform (at least in a long term).

Okay, far enough about the Touch Bar it has go at sometime, so it may as well be now especially if you can't test it..

I've added the ability to map the left or right CMD key to Commodore, RunStop, or Control. This makes it easier to handle keys that don't have counterparts on modern keyboards.

In addition, I've ported the caps-lock option from vAmiga.
