Hmm, I don't like your idea "by function for the other keys" because such
definition makes browsers need to compute code value with virtual keycode (or
keysym) and it may depend on modifier state.

However, I believe that you meant "by original function expected by keyboard
vendor for the other key". Then, I can agree with your idea.

Wait, you took a mistake. "Menu" key of USB HID is labeled "Props". So, as you
said, it should be "ContextMenu" value for .code, "Props" value should be
removed from the table.

-> REOPEN for the latter issue.
