Hmmm, and what if you define the most common ones like f1 - f10 and
cursor keys? If any of these doesn't exist for the platform you're using
you could always map some other key(s) to act like function keys.
Or you could have default key-bindings which will always be available,
whether your platform/keyboard has function keys or not (eg F1 - F10
might map to CTRL 1 - 0 and the cursor keys to CTRL u, d, l & r).
