Sounds logical. Mouse and keyboard share the same I/O lines, so for a piece of
software it is not easily possible to determine the cause of a signal change.

Sounds likely. But since the mouse driver is part of cc65 (in contrary to the
keyboard scanner, which is part of the kernal ROM), it may be possible to
distinguish between mouse button and key presses by looking at the additional
input lines.
