The something I want to do with that key is get its name in order to
display it to the user in a Preferences window.

In the case of when the Preferences window is opening and the user has
previously entered a choice I don't even need to poll the keyboard to
get the keycode, as I have previously stored that. (But I am using
AsyncKeyDown to get the keycode when the user makes an entry.)

Because there are many possible different keyboard layouts, it would
be difficult for any list to be accurate.
