Try <Ctrl>^h (2 strokes: first '<Ctrl>^' then 'h'). You'll get help
on what is possible. Example:
Pressing <Ctrl>^s followed by <Ctrl>^3 results in SHIFT-F3.
Well, normally people are used to read ^H as <Ctrl>H and using just
this '^' as 'escchar' realy is confusing. However, on an US keyboard,
the '^' is 'above' number '6', so the above example could be written in a
more usual way such as
Pressing ^6s followed by ^63 results in SHIFT-F3.
or
Pressing ^^s followed by ^^3 results in SHIFT-F3.
(grrh...)
Ok, here is the complete help from ^6h (aka <Ctrl>^h aka ^^h) and
'translated' to use '^6' as the prefix for all those special typings:
Hope this helps and doesn't give more confusion ;-)
