Better support for devices with limited or no hardware buttons

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. In Scaling mode "Fit to Sreen" - because there is no trackball there is
no way to move mouse pointer.
2. In Scaling mode "1:1" - touchscreen allows mouse pointer to be moved but
there is no way to right-click.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Provide alternative ways of navigation (moving mouse) and input (left and
right clicks) for devices with limited or no hardware buttons. For instance
ability to reconfigure those buttons which are present on the device
(up/down volume in this case) as well as providing "soft" buttons from menu
for all actions.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.3.0 (latest version from Archos AppsLib) on Archos 5 Internet Tablet with
firmware 1.3.07 (Android 1.5).

Please provide any additional information below.
Archos 5 Internet Tablet has the following 2 hardware buttons: 1) volume
up/down, 2) power on/off. Because of this the functionalities which rely on
trackball and/or other hardware buttons are impossible or difficult to use.

New input modes are forthcoming that will be more friendly to devices without
trackball or buttons.

The Send Keys menu option does allow sending virtually any key or mouse click.  
I
don't know if the lack of buttons is keeping you from getting to the menu.

Thanks, at the time of posting I was not fully aware of how to used the Send 
Keys
option. As per your suggestion it indeed does allow sending of almost any input,
however can be somewhat cumbersome. If new inputs modes are in the pipeline for
devices without buttons, that's great. Thank you for your efforts.

Latest dev build has input mode where both mouse control and panning happen 
through
the touch screen, with gestures.

I don't know the solution to the Archos mouse offset problem yet, unfortunately.
