 Today I have created my first backend lib patch! This patch is dealing with the new key mapping architecture. I have added
 the buttons.h which similar to keyboard.h but also includes codes for mouse buttons. EventManager class has been modified, and the GenericEventManager was added to provide a base class for specific backend event managers' implementations.

+Today I have posted a new reply to [Scummvm-devel] RFC: Flexible keymapping via new EVENT_ (post 0.10) with a detailed description of proposed key mapping implementation.
+== 2007-07-13 (Friday) - improved key mapping architecture ==
+Taking into consideration Max's comments to my -devel post, I made some changes to the key mapping design. The main improvement is that we get rid of enum with all action types, replacing it with a key to key mapping. This way we don't have to change the engines' code at all, and plus we provide a nice place to integrate a virtual keyboard (see my replies to [Scummvm-devel] RFC: Flexible keymapping via new EVENT_ (post 0.10) -devel discussion).
+== 2007-07-14 (Saturday) - coding :) ==
+I've been coding all day today. As a result we have OSystem_Common, a base class for all backends' OSystem classes, which provides hooks for key mapper and virtual keyboard. I have also created a KeyMapper class which already knows how to provide a default key mapping functionality. What still needs to be done is the custom mapping (key dialogs, basically). I've also added a virtual keyboard stub, modified the DefaultEventManager and the sky engine to make use of key mapping. You can check out the patch at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1752243&group_id=37116&atid=418822, patch v3).
