Inserting buttons into the UI command stream for the UI module to process is
extremely simple. A completely different approach is required while the VM is
executing a program. When a program is running you might be able to write to
the Button IOMap module and have the VM properly interpret the modified button
state but since it is continuously updating the same IOMap structure values
based on actual button presses and releases (counting short and long presses and
releases) it may not actually work in reality. I would need to deal with the
full spectrum of button states (i.e., both short and long presses as well as
releases) to do it right so it would involve much more code than I've had to use
so far. I'll have a look at it some more but I can't promise I'll get it
working right away.

I'll see what I can do. :-)

There isn't any way to do that, unfortunately.
