Currently I am using str_for_key and key_for_str, and have also created a simple load / save, allowing key mapping to be done easily.

It just feels a little.... un-robust, with these keys missing. It also has some trouble with special keys and mouse input. So I would very much appreciate some alternative way of doing this.

Maybe there is a .DLL that better handles input?

@Flits: I am not sure how your code helps, please explain. Sorry for my noobish ness
