From many searches I gather that I was not the only one to be confused and bewildered by the unmentionable link to a table of keycodes found on the wiki.
Here I'm offering my current understanding of what one can actually customize, and which codes to use for that:
/*
from the source, luke!
https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite/blob/master/src/SDL/MyOpenGLView.h
codes for the 10 keys left of numpad:
252; // gvArrowKeyRight
253; // gvArrowKeyLeft
254; // gvArrowKeyDown
255; // gvArrowKeyUp
303; // gvHomeKey
304; // gvEndKey
305; // gvInsertKey
306; // gvDeleteKey
307; // gvPageUpKey
308; // gvPageDownKey
.
.
numberpad special keys are not listed in /recognized by the code at all. below are the codes for the number keys on the numpad:
310; // gvNumberPadKey0
311; // gvNumberPadKey1
312; // gvNumberPadKey2
313; // gvNumberPadKey3
314; // gvNumberPadKey4
315; // gvNumberPadKey5
316; // gvNumberPadKey6
317; // gvNumberPadKey7
318; // gvNumberPadKey8
319; // gvNumberPadKey9
ignoring the function keys, anything left of the backspace key can be assigned by quoting the key, no funny business with codes required there.
one can not customize
the Ctrl-key, to, say, turn it into '`' or '\' or another shift key.
also 'Caps-lock' as a switch to make custom views zoomable.

Here's a question: Is it possible to enter two values for an argument in the keyconfig.plist? For example, if I want to add the NumPad0 as the Weapons Toggle but not get rid of the default Underscore command (in case I forget that I changed the value in the heat of the moment)...
Can I use a comma in the argument, i.e. key_weapons_online_toggle = "_",310 ?
or enter both values without a comma separator?
