[openbeos] Re: Keymapping

Maybe the pref should have a"scratch drag" area to allow to drag 
keys temporarily.
Btw, the R5 one use that kind of message:
What='CHKY'
B_RAW_TYPE            "string"                 0000 - 0168                      
           .h
B_INT32_TYPE          "key"                    65 (0x00000041)
B_INT32_TYPE          "modifiers"              0 (B_OK)
B_RAW_TYPE            "control"                0000 - 0108                      
           ..
B_RAW_TYPE            "option_caps_shift"      0000 - 00                        
           .
B_RAW_TYPE            "option_caps"            0000 - 0120                      
           . 
B_RAW_TYPE            "option_shift"           0000 - 00                        
           .
B_RAW_TYPE            "option"                 0000 - 0120                      
           . 
B_RAW_TYPE            "caps_shift"             0000 - 0168                      
           .h
B_RAW_TYPE            "caps"                   0000 - 0148                      
           .H
B_RAW_TYPE            "shift"                  0000 - 0148                      
           .H
B_RAW_TYPE            "normal"                 0000 - 0168                      
           .h
B_INT32_TYPE          "buttons"                2 (0x00000002)
B_POINT_TYPE          "_drop_point_"           x=685.00    y=387.00
B_POINT_TYPE          "_drop_offset_"          x=14.00     y=7.00

That's not a standard dragable message, which explains why the keys can't 
be dragged to StyledEdit or something.
Maybe we should use B_SIMPLE_DATA instead ? but we would loose infos 
when draging back from StyledEdit.
