I agree. Personally wanted to set Alt+M as alternative, but felt
uncomfortable doing it for my first patch, as kpd-+ was already chosen...
UNIX version allows setting this at runtime with the ARCEMXMOUSEKEY
environment variable. Windows version should have a dialog box instead; plan
to add, you can be sure it will end up full of options on the long run :).

Good catch. I guess it depends on the host computer ; was able to reproduce
it on a different machine.
The issue is that Arcem polls the keyboard by itself, the timing may vary,
and you have to align on its timing. I chose a fixed timing (30ms) here, but
eventually will have to bind with the lower-level code to be 100% accurate.
PS : Other feature I'd like to add quickly : choosing a floppy disk image
with a file browser ("Open...") dialog box.
