The @when user key function/feature....

[Richard Kreiss]

Interesting as I had not realized this would work.  Tested it and it does.

I still would like and @fkey(function key pressed, @afkey(alt & function key
& @cfkey(ctrl & function key) function that works like @key.  

This might make all 12 function key available or maybe just 1-10 and then
alt 1-9 and ctrl 1-9 for a total of 28 available function keys.  This would
make 54 possible single key options available especially now with dokey for
doubling up some built in key functions.

At present the most single key functions I have in any one file is 21.  This
includes / [ ].  I am using rolling prompts plus help to list all of the
possible single key strokes as well as describing what they do.
