Nice :-)
I'm going to take a look on that next week and i will test it on windows
before to integrate the patch. I will keep you inform of the results :-)

The control configuration is a very personal thing, we choose a quite common
way to configure the moves control ... but it wiil be nice to be able to
easly configure them :-)
I do agree with you on the Function keys and the ability to be able to use
the other keys of the keyboard ... migth be nice to have ;-)
Thanks for your help,
Cedric.
