+## Notes
+
+- Key codes are decimal values used by macOS CGEvent API
+- Some media keys may require special handling or may not be remappable
+- Function keys (F1-F15) can have default system behaviors that may need to be overridden
+- Modifier keys (Command, Shift, Control, Option) can be combined with other keys
+- The codes listed are for US keyboard layout; other layouts may vary
