[NTLUG:Discuss] What are the names of the keys on my keyboard?

[Lance Simmons]

I'm using a utility named keylaunch to set up hotkeys.  It works fine,
but I don't know the names of some of the keys on my keyboard.  The
Enter key (I call it that because that's what's printed on the key) is
named "Return", the 12 function keys are named "F1" through "F12", but
what is the space bar named? What are the other keys named?

There must exist somewhere a canonical list of names for the keys on
one's keyboard.  But where?  Or do different utilities use different
names for the keys?

Here's a sample .keylaunchrc, so you can see how the names are used:


 # Copy to $HOME/.keylaunchrc
 #
 # Format: key=...KeyName:Command
 #
 # ... No modifier *.. Shift .*. Ctrl ..* Alt
 
 key=..*Return:xterm key=.**n:netscape
