Max 8 standalone applications: including 'Assign MIDI / Key Map' function?

Absolutely loving this new release -- feels very slick. Thank you to the C74 crew!

I was wondering if the Assign MIDI / Key Map functionality is possible to include with standalone applications? It has powerful implications within Max, for sure, but it would be wonderful to be able to access these tools from standalone apps built with Max.

Any roadmap for this (or an obvious setting I'm missing)?

There is currently a mappings object, which does not yet have a help or a ref file, but it's basic usage should be fairly self-explanatory...

I was actually wondering the same. I did try with the key / midi message but while it works to assign the keys/midi message, I don't seem to be able to get out of the mapping mode.

The escape key should exit mapping mode.

is there a way to include modifier keys in the key map, e.g. opt-3 or ctrl-k?
