However, any of these keys can also be mapped to any other key-combination on the local keyboard via the Options→Keyboard Profiles. They can also be mapped to user-defined clickable screen buttons via (Options→Session Profile→User Buttons). Both functions use names for the keys listed in the table of emulation dependent key names.
