Table E-1 shows the key codes used to define the key strokes or hotkeys for several functions. Please note that these key
codes do not necessarily represent the key characters that are used on international keyboards. A key on a standard 104 key
PC keyboard with a US English language mapping is named. The layout for this keyboard is shown in Figure E-1.
However, most modifier keys and other alphanumeric keys used for hotkey purposes in application programs are on a
similar position, no matter what language mapping you are using. Some of the keys also have aliases. This means that a
key can be named by two different key codes.
