Is Unicode sufficient for *key* events?  I am guessing that Unicode does
not include things like:

	F11
	PageUp
	Keypad_Enter
	Alt


How about using the XWindows encodings, instead?  The X guys have put a
ton of effort into designing a platform-independent encoding of keyboard
keys, and so we would be get a big boost from reusing this.

I've made a Wiki page about the topic, and it includes a C header file
with a list of key encodings:

	"Key Events"

Also, Andreas seems (tentatively) happy with the XWindows encoding.  And
since obviously the Unix port can easily support XWindows encoding, that
would mean XWindows is convenient at least for the big three platforms.
