Keyboard layout
I'm trying to change the keyboard layout to move all the movement keys (i.e. roll, pitch and yaw) to the number pad. Unfortunately I can't find a table of what keys are mapped to which keycodes. Can anybody help?

That depends on your system as well.
Oolite used to come (at least the Mac version) with a nice small extra program called "Oolite Keymapper". Running that program you can just press your favorite key for every action and in the end it automatically creates a keyconfig.plist.
The Keymapper is somewhat outdated, because there are some new functions (like yaw) for which it doesn't ask a keystroke. Anyway it is very helpful. If you just press the same key for every action and then have a look into the keyconfig.plist in the same folder you can easily see the the code for that key.

End, Page Up and Page Down are not available. The actual number pad keys use the same codes as the normal number keys, which have hard-coded meanings.
This is not ideal, but fixing it is not a priority for me at this moment.
