To change a key value, double-click on the list entry, and press the key you wish to use (e.g. 'w'). For non-print characters such as the ESC key, you will instead need to enter '#' followed by the correct decimal ASCII code. For the list of ASCII codes, please consult [[http://www.neurophys.wisc.edu/comp/docs/ascii.html|this helpful website]].
