Calculate cell-phone keypresses

Your task is to calculate the total number of key-presses required to enter a given text on an old cellphone.

The keymaps are:

1:1 2:abcABC2 3:defDEF3 4:ghiGHI4 5:jklJKL5 6:mnoMNO6 7:pqrsPQRS7 8:tuvTUV8 9:wxyzWXYZ9 0:<space><newline>0

To type exaMPle TExt 01 , you would press 33 99 2 6666 77777 555 33 0 8888 33333 99 8 0 <a 1-sec pause here in real life but we'll ignore it>000 1 for a total of 37 keypresses.

The * key brings up a map of special characters:

.,'?! "-()@ /:_;+ &%*=< >£€$¥ ¤[]{} \~^¡¿ §#|`

with the first one (.) highlighted. You can move to highlight the required character using rectangular navigation keys and it takes another keypress to select.

So to insert $, you would press *↓↓↓↓→→→<select> i.e. a total of 9 key-presses.

  • Input will be from a file called source placed in the current directory/directory of your program.
  • You must output Total key presses <total_keypresses>
  • If the input file contains any character not in the given keymap, then your program must output Invalid character <character> in source and exit.

In short, the input and output of your program must resemble that of this(ungolfed) python script:

# This Python file uses the following encoding: utf-8 from __future__ import print_function import sys general_dict = { '1':1, 'a':1, 'b':2, 'c':3, 'A':4, 'B':5, 'C':6, '2':7, 'd':1, 'e':2, 'f':3, 'D':4, 'E':5, 'F':6, '3':7, 'g':1, 'h':2, 'i':3, 'G':4, 'H':5, 'I':6, '4':7, 'j':1, 'k':2, 'l':3, 'J':4, 'K':5, 'L':6, '5':7, 'm':1, 'n':2, 'o':3, 'M':4, 'N':5, 'O':6, '6':7, 'p':1, 'q':2, 'r':3, 's':4, 'P':5, 'Q':6, 'R':7, 'S':8, '7':9, 't':1, 'u':2, 'v':3, 'T':4, 'U':5, 'V':6, '8':7, 'w':1, 'x':2, 'y':3, 'z':4, 'W':5, 'X':6, 'Y':7, 'Z':8, '9':9, ' ':1, '\n':2, '0':3 } special_chars = ['.',',',"'",'?','!','"','-','(',')','@','/',':','_',';','+','&','%','*','=','<','>','£','€','$','¥','¤','[',']','{','}','\\','~','^','¡','¿','§','#','|','`'] for x in special_chars: general_dict[x]=(special_chars.index(x)/5) + (special_chars.index(x)%5) + 2 key_press_total = 0 with open('source') as f: for line in f: for character in line: if character in general_dict: key_press_total+=general_dict[character] else: print('Invalid character',character,'in source') sys.exit(1) print('Total key presses',key_press_total)

This is code-golf, shortest program in bytes wins.

Shameless disclaimer: I made this challenge to have translations of the above python script in different languages which will be used to score this challenge in the sandbox.
