[Ohrrpgce] SVN: james/13046 Disable checking for scNumLock when choosing a scancode for button mappi

[Ralph Versteegen]

We ought to have an alternative to the Pause key for pausing. A lot of the
map layer shortcut keys in the map editor are problematic too, and
alternatives would e good, but we're out of key combos. There are so many
different things you might want to do to a map layer that I think we need a
whole new control scheme where you select a layer then select an
operation... as well as mouse support fo the same.
