Adding ability of Key Mapping to Remote Connection Emulator

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Remote Connection Emulator (RCE) is replacing Host Connection Emulator (HCE) from IDz 16 and onwards. 

In the old HCE we had the ability of mapping any key (or combination of keys) in the keyboard to any command.

In the new RCE - key mapping is restricted only to specific keys and specific commands.

Example #1: ATTN can be mapped to right CTRL or left CTRL keys only! If I want to map it to a different key, like  '`' or '~'  - it's impossible.

Example #2: There is no option to flip the screen (SCREENREV command in HCE)

Example #3: I want ENTER key to go down a line, and my Numpad Enter to act as ENTER. This is not possible either. RCE doesn't distinguish between these two different keys.

All above (and more) are needed for smooth migration from HCE to RCE.
