Or, maybe, the author was on a system using X and knew about xmodmap. If I xmodmap -e 'keycode 135 = F30' then gvim happily sees and can map F30 when I press the otherwise useless menu key. The limit on my system (Kubuntu 13.10) is F35, I've no idea where that comes from but I note tpope's mappings go up to F35. (When I was last on windows I used registry hacks to achieve similar results.) One can find out the keycodes and keysyms using the xev utility. Note that one's "window manager" or "desktop environment" or whatever has to allow use of the key. My keyboard has silly little mail, home page and search buttons and I can use the mail and home page buttons with gvim but not the search button, as KDE wants to start a browser on Google if I press it.
