QTERM has it, and shows how to implement it.
You will also need the P.D. assembler and patcher pointed at in the QTERM
documentation.  QTERM and these are on SIMTEL20.
Very easy to implement even for a person like me with limited assembly
practice.
QTERM traps each keystroke, branches to some space where you can play, and
has a mechanism to let the rest of the program know if the stroke has to be
passed out to the comm. port right away, or be deferred, or be followed by
more stuff.
Actually that's how a QTERM user would simulate a VT100 keyboard for example.
If you know a little bit of Z80 assembly you will remap your keyboard in less
than 2 hours with a slow diskette system (testing faster with a HD of course).
David Goodenough (no error here I hope) thought about you when writing QTERM.
