The key mapping from some keys is inconsistent.
  e.g. The Del/. key on a PC keypad reports different key
    pressed events depending on whether NumLock is on or off
This makes it impossible to do any consistent function key
mapping.
The application we work with is actually a terminal emulator
so we want to re-map the keyboard to be similar to a terminal keyboard.
======================================================================
No KeyEvent seems to be sent att all to keyPressed when I press
the ","/"Del" key on my (Swedish) keyboard and NumLock is selected.

Something like KeyEvent.VK_SEPARATER, KeyEvent.VK_COMMA, or
KeyEvent.VK_PERIOD was expected. Every thing else seems to come through.

Using jdk 1.1.3 this key sends del (keycode 127).
(the minus key, however, sends "=" (keycode 61); whre
jdk 1.2 beta 2 sends the correct "-" (keycode 109))

My code is available upon request.
