I am not sure how much work that would represent, though. Because, of course, each device has its own function keys with their own names. Also, even if there would be the will and manpower to accomplish that work, it wouldmean that you'd need to gather the list of allthe function keys of all devices, or at least just the function keys of the active one. I am not sure how easy it is to do that programmatically. I am not saying it is not, I am just sayingI really don't know.
