The platform gave these keys no code at all, so a game's rebinding screen could not take
one and nothing said why. Windows asked the active layout what they type and got nothing
(w_vk_char answers 0 for a key with no character); macOS let them fall through to
charactersIgnoringModifiers, which reports NSF1FunctionKey and its neighbours at 0xF704
and up - outside the 256-bit held set either way.
w_keyval and ev_keyval now name them, with the same codes on both: 132-143 F1-F12,
144-149 Home / End / PageUp / PageDown / Insert / Delete, 150 Caps Lock, 152-161 the
numpad digits, 162-166 its * + - . and /. The numpad's Enter is Enter.
Key.F1, Key.Home, Key.Numpad0 and the rest fold at compile time, and Input.key_label
names them without asking the layout - a key that types nothing is called the same thing
on every layout.
examples/library/input_typeless_keys.ludic covers the codes, the names, the held set and
the press edge; 150 passed in ludic-dev test, 33 in selfhost-test.
