Summary: There's a systemic issue (any key with code > 256 is filtered
by X), and there may be Qt-support issues (we can only use keys Qt knows
about***), but we also don't provide any default mappings for some of
the VCR keys (because doing so is likely to mean many users would have
to unmap some/most keys then re-map them to work properly with their
remote layout).
