Description

Is there any support for keymap files like https://github.com/libretro/hatari/blob/master/doc/keymap-sample.txt which then can be loaded from the command-line with --keymap <file>?

I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 and I am trying to remap the "Home", "Insert" to "PageUp" and "PageDown".

Research direction

Start at the command-line option handling for the proposed --keymap <file> entry point and trace how keyboard mappings are currently represented. Compare the expected format with the linked keymap sample; done means a keymap file can be loaded and the requested Home/Insert to PageUp/PageDown remappings work.
