Description
Expected behaviour: The screen says "Press F4 to play again", Pressing F4 should let me play again What happens instead: The game does not respond to the F4 button press How to reproduce: Go into the house, walk up the stairs, use the keypad next to the door, press the top left button 4 times, after about a minute the house will blow up and you will get the screen telling you to press F4
This was tested on Ubuntu 10.04 using: ScummVM 1.4.0pre35-g9bc0f70 (Nov 1 2011 04:35:13) Features compiled in: Vorbis FLAC MP3 RGB zLib

Confirmed with ScummVM 1.5.0git338-g6c23f78-dirty (Nov 5 2011 21:24:34).
F4 does not work for this... though ESC does. Not sure if this was hardcoded in the original interpreter?

If this wasn't hardcoded, then there may be a missing case in the function "void ScummEngine_v0::processInput()" found in engines/scumm/input.cpp ...

With significant help from Kirben, have traced this down to void ScummEngine::processKeyboard(Common::KeyState lastKeyHit) in engines/scumm/input.cpp. Specifically this was due to the hard coding of ESC for Cutscene skip button, rather than using the value of VAR_CUTSCENEEXIT_KEY (at line 535 of input.cpp).
This minor regression was introduced by: commit 4297ccc96481872e9b47428c5ed36d6db0a450de Author: Max Horn <max@quendi.de> Date: Sat Jun 23 16:02:50 2007 +0000
Revised SCUMM's input code. We now fix the keys F5, '.', space, escape for mainmenu, talkstop, pause, cutsceneExit; this simplifies and clarifies the code, and ensures consistent game behavior
svn-id: r27672
Kirben will look at fixing this "by spliting code to specific versions again where required, so we don't go against script changes to specific keys."

This problem effected several game ports, which used different keys for skipping cutscenes: The Commodore 64 port of Zak McKracken uses RETURN The Commodore 64 port of Maniac Mansion uses F7 The NES ports of Maniac Mansion uses B Other ports of Maniac Mansion use F4
The exact keys used are displayed by the scripts, when dying or complete these games.
I fixed the problem in ScummVM by adding directly support for the exact keys used in each game port mentioned. Since the function keys were mapped differently (as 1 - 8) in the scripts of these games, compared to the expected values in ScummVM.
