I am having problems with the keys 2, 4, 6 and 8 - they do not work as arrow keys or to change scale and red/blue needles in the compass screen.

All other keys like 1,3,5,7,9 and 0 are working as the should.

I'm using the following keymap for my german keyboard layout:

This still does not work in the actual beta 0.9.84 i downloaded yesterday, please have a look at this, thanks.

I'm using a similar keymap file but for english keyboard layout. same issue here.
perhaps it would be possible to create a keymap file which contains settings for each individual screen (map, compass, cms) so if anyone is seeing problems he can fix it on it's own.

Individual keymaps for each screen sounds very good to me too Smile

Hmm, keymapping on BB is a bit trickier.

Changing scale/mode od compass screen is bound to game actions; raw keycode is first "resolved" to game action (via API call).
On classic devices, the game keys are 2-4-6-8, however on BB devices the keys are different (see "RIM Implementation Note" in http://www.blackberry.com/developers/docs/4.1api/javax/microedition/lcdui/Canvas.html). So you may need to remap keycodes for 2-4-6-8 to U-G-H-J, for instance:

101=117
115=103
102=104
120=106

Ok, so if this is the reason it's not a bug, it's a matter of wrong mapping for BlackBerry devices, which the users can fix by their own.
So I updated the BB mappings for keymap.txt in the wiki, see http://wiki.trekbuddy.net/index.php/Customization - with the values standing there before it did only work for the map screen, not for the compass screen. I also wrote down some comments to explain how things are mapped now.

Now on devices with trackball (i.e. Bold) either 2-4-6-8 or the trackball can be used for moving the map and 2-4-6-8 can be used for switching compass averaging and compass scale. On devices w/o trackball, only the keys can be used.

The new feature of north locking (since v0.9.84 beta) was mapped to 5 instead of SPACE to prevent it from being activated by accident.

Thanks Kruch, problem solved Smile

BTW: Is it possible to add comments to keymap.txt that are ignored by the parser (just for reference and documentation of which line will affect which keys)? Something like
