That could indeed be a step. How ever, as you say, that would allow to
work in _that_ environment. Could we imagine to go one step further and
allow, somehow, the definition of the commands themselves to be part of
a table? The tables could then define both the available commands and
the way the actual device keys should be mapped to commands.

Does that make sense or does it look overkill?
