The problem is *I don't know* which targets can support it. It's a key
mapping issue, which by definition is target specific. Some targets
have color screens, some have scrollwheels, etc. Some have free ekys
and some do not. It will be up to individuals who want the feature for
a given target to implement it for that target.
