thanks for your explanations ! :)
Ctrl-v gives me the "raw values" (that is the binary representation)
of the keycodes. But I wanted the way of "name" those keysequences

As explained under ":help i_CTRL-K", you can get the keycodes for
special keys by pressing CTRL-K followed by the key in insert
mode.
