What _do_ those keys do? I've been reading this thread and the only
fkeys of mine that do anything are f10-f12 which I've mapped to apple
scripts (or something, it's been a while) to control iTunes.

I use F5-F13 for actual parameter changes. I can't use F1-F4 because the system intercepts them and crashes my program.

Looking at some code I wrote a few years ago, it looks like it sends
0x7f which should be del as defined by ascii.

7F did it! Thanks. Where on earth did you find this info? I checked everywhere I could think of, including Google.

As Steve Checkoway rightly pointed out, 0x7f is ASCII DEL, which makes a lot of sense for a delete key.

Now I think about it, I think delete keys returning 0x7f is pretty standard
terminal behaviour, and possibly the reason you couldn't find documentation
is that it's just assumed that you realise that this will happen?


Kind regards,

Alastair.
