There is absolutely NO support for the ancient PC-keyboards (they had 83 keys).

There is only limited support for AT-keyboards (they have 84 keys, and a 
separate numeric keypad, they don't have F9-F12 keys) because the emulator
needs F9-F12 for control functions, and due to the current design of the
keyboard driver there is no (full) support for national keyboards because
of the lack of a ALTGR key.

MF-keyboards are fully supported, 101- and 102-key versions.
