[openbeos] [haiku] open task in prefs team : Keymap

Hi list,

a task is available on our preferences team for a not so experienced C++ developer.

Description : Finish the Keymap preferences app

Details :
It should allow to edit a keymap as the original app (ATM the keymap is readonly) : moving characters, copy, paste
It should accept characters dropped on virtual keys.
It should pack the chars array to avoid dups when saving to file.
It should expand the chars array when loading to be able to change character per key
Optional :
it could bring a mean to edit/show non visible attributes of a keymap atm (ie dead keys)
it could expose a checkbox for displaying a keymap switcher in the Deskbar.
The switcher replicant should be placed in the keymap bin app
(that's how Media pref works to keep consistency).
it could have an UTF8 character selector (possibly a separate app/window)
