Support for keyboards other than US in KeyStrokeMappings

[GoogleCodeExporter]

From Peter Murray:

The default KeyStrokeMappings in FEST only support US English
keyboards. The UK variant, and most likely others (which also share
english at the language) will have different character mappings for
some keys.

To get around this we have injected our own mappings for keys using a
KeyStrokeMappingProvider_GB_en that extends your default
KeyStrokeMappingProvider_en class whith the following modifications;

mappings.add(new KeyStrokeMapping('"', VK_2, SHIFT_MASK));
mappings.add(new KeyStrokeMapping('£', VK_3, SHIFT_MASK));
mappings.add(new KeyStrokeMapping('\'', VK_QUOTE, NO_MASK));
mappings.add(new KeyStrokeMapping('@', VK_QUOTE, SHIFT_MASK));

This only gets us some of the way though as there are still characters
that we cannot type, namely # or ~ as these share a key on our
keyboards, and the Key Code when typed in a JTextField returns
VK_UNDEFINIED.

Is there anyway to get around this with the way FEST works, other than
just setting the text on field?
