A. Key Codes

Table below shows the key codes used to defines keystrokes or hotkeys for
several functions. Please note that these key codes do not represent necessarily
key characters that are used on international keyboards. They name a key on a
standard 104 key PC keyboard with an US English language mapping. The layout
for this keyboard is shown in figure below. However, most modifier keys and other
alphanumeric keys used for hotkey purposes in application programs are on an
identical position, no matter what language mapping you are using. Some of the
keys have aliases also, means they can be named by 2 key codes (separated by
comma in the table).
