The hexadecimal values are not used in the external.ttkeyboard file.
They are included here for reference when
reprogramming the on-screen keyboard.
Option key values may be changed to any of the assigned keys described in
the keyboard reference.
Note that editing the on-screen keyboard
does not change the behavior of an external keyboard, nor do external keyboard
settings affect the on-screen keyboard.
