Okay, I had never heard of this. I've done the suggested changes in the
attached patch. Please can you have a look and make sure I'm being sane.

It's a "lock" key, I really want KEY_LOCK added to input.h, but that

there's a better one to substitute or if you guys want me to add get a
constant added to input.h.

Thanks for the review.
