Good question. Since we can't do multi-key menu-item equivalents
it'd be nice to be able to let them map the function keys (for those
who have them) for the duration of the app session. I've already
forgotten how to repair the f12 key to do Delete instead of eject
so that I don't wear out the DVD drive.
