Jwno: List of Key Names

Here are all the keys Jwno currently supports, and the actual key codes used in the code. See the Windows documentation for more details.

Note that Jwno currently only supports US keyboard layouts. On other layouts, the VK_OEM_* key codes may map to other characters.

To use a key in a key spec, write its name directly. All key names are case-insensitive. For example:

"Win + A"        # Use the `A` key
"Win + 1"        # Use the `1` key
"Win + ;"        # Use the VK_OEM_1 key (the `;:` key on US keyboards)
"Win + Numpad0"  # Use the VK_NUMPAD0 key

Modifier Keys

About the AltGr key: The AltGr key is in fact not a single modifier, but emits Ctrl + Alt instead, so it cannot be used as a "trigger key". If you want to use AltGr as a modifier in a key spec, write Ctrl + Alt instead, e.g. AltGr + N should become Ctrl + Alt + N.
