Maybe this is a very dumb idea but why are we not using the char to map back to 
the keycode? At least for everything in the ASCII-Range this would be ok not? 
We'd only have to check for special keys (like NUM-Keys, F-Keys, ...) first. So 
once we checked and the text is of length 1 we could do the mapping from the 
char.
