Dear Maintainer,

When launching TIAtracker from the command line, it outputs the following message: "Unable to open keyboard shortcuts file keymap.cfg!".  And indeed, when the software opens, the keyboard cannot be used at all.   When launching TIAtracker from Gnome the same issue arises.

A workaround consists in copying the file keymap.cfg from the source tree, then running TIAtracker from the directory where the file has been downloaded.  The keyboard is then enabled, and users can insert notes in the tracker using the keyboard and use any shortcut they wish.

In my opinion, the keymap.cfg file should be shipped with the tiatracker package, and should be loaded by default.

Path to the keymap.cfg file:
