The code are somewhat consistent, but I don't think rawKeyDown works  
exactly the same across all platforms--not sure.

The codes are keysyms (first used on X11, and now Revolution and tkl)  
and you might find some descriptions online that addresses platform  
interpretations.  The keysyms seem to attempt to address keys and  
characters in a useful mix.  Even so, some important keys are missing  
and the character encoding predates Unicode.  Perhaps this will be  
rectified.

So, I'd look around online for possible gotchas and then test on  
primary platforms.
