There is already (IIRC) tablet support in Squeak. Look at 
JoystickTabletPlugin. I don't know what it's good for, though. (I'm getting a 
tablet soon, so I'm interested).

There are key bindings all over the place. Most are set in the class side of 
ParagraphEditor, though.

Look at EventSensor for the definition of the input events. It looks like you 
have extra mouse button bits, and/or can add new keystroke modifiers for 
special keys. You'll have to modify the platform-specific bits of your VM to 
pass the additional mouse buttons and keystrokes through, first.
