Shades of reinventing the wheel here - I already did the Linux keyboard layouts with sensible key code returns to Linux (IMHO). I'm about to bugger off home for the weekend but if someone gives me a nudge on Monday you're welcome the to files I have already

Sure. It's not like I haven't tried to get hold of the original source. ;)
I think there are possible 2 different layout types that are going to make sense though:
*) The keypad setup as a device, with the keys being used to invoke applications and so forth. I assume this is what the Amstrad layout is like and in the long term this is the right approach I feel.
*) The keypad setup as a primary input device, with the aim of being able to use it for the console. Personally I'm doing most of my prodding over the serial port at present, but I get the impression this is what a number of people want?
