Examples
<PARA> Key terminology is tricky. The KeyCap <KEYCAP>R</KEYCAP> on your keyboard stands for both <TOKEN>R</TOKEN> and <TOKEN>r</TOKEN>. A KeyCode is a computer's internal numeric representation of that point of input; the KeyCode for that <KEYCAP>R</KEYCAP> key could be <KEYCODE>36</KEYCODE> for all you know. And a KeySym, or key symbol name, is not necessarily the same thing as a Keycap. For example, the Keysym for the <KEYCAP>R</KEYCAP> key might be <KEYSYM>h</KEYSYM>. </PARA>
