RJ> The only standardization that I'm aware of is the use of some
RJ> function keys  in terms of file managers and editors.

I did some inquiries on the Web yesterday and came away with the thought 
that it's "every man for himself".  Lots of organizations (governments, 
manufacturers, schools, etc.) had function key assignments but they all 
varied widely from each other.  The number of available function keys 
varied.  The assignments varied from each other.  The groupings of 
assignments varied from each other.

Now that's what might be called true software independence.

I can see their point, though.  Different platforms have a different 
number of function keys.  Different softwares can use hot keys that 
other softwares / platforms would never use, have no reason to use or 
couldn't respond in the desired way.

RJ> I'm personally fond of using the  key for this purpose.

That brings to mind another key mapping.  Thanks for reminding me.
