What you have to do is look at the "keyCode" part of the event message
instead of the "charCode" part.  The function & editing cluster keys
don't have unique ASCII codes, but they do have unique (and standardized)
virtual key codes.  IM V has a chart of (for example) the ADB Extended
keyboard that shows all of the virtual key codes for the function keys
etc.

Hope this helps,
