Actually that idea of extracting the help from jmb.map will be a little
changed. Now jmb.map does not apply any meaning to the actions. Every action
(the fisical operation on the keyboard, not the EFFECT it causes) has a
unique ID. The code is responsible to use a specific ID for some
context/local operation.
So I think this generation would be something like
in help.text :
"If you want to open the project manager, just perform %003% ."
this %003% would be parsed from jmb.map file which is
003 < P M >
and the ouput would be
If you want to open the project manager, just perform <PM> (Single press P
and M at the same time)
in other words, the help.text file is a normal text file for help, but the
keyboard actions are reffered by their ID's
