Moving from TODO comment:

So far the list includes space and the arrow keys. We could expand these to include other special keys where the value is guaranteed to be platform-independent (if they exist).

I would be cautious about this: http://unixpapa.com/js/key.html - but it looks like some things have gotten better recently.

It seems like there is enough consistency to add the following keys:

Enter
Tab
Esc
Backspace
Shift
Control
Alt
Insert
Delete
Home
End
Page Up
Page Down
Function Keys

I'd like to add these in, let me know if that's something you want.
