zkbd and and Menu key

[Philippe Gassmann]

Hello,

I'm living in a country where the Menu key does not exist in our AZETY 
keyboard.
That cause the zkbd script to be useless unless I remove the Menu key 
from the list of key bindings in that script.
Is this issue known, is there a workaround ?

Here is the patch to that file that remove the menu key:
--- zkbd~       2005-07-28 15:26:15.000000000 +0200

        )
 sunkeys=(Stop  Again
          Props Undo

It would be nice that Escape key (or another key as well) could be used 
to tell zkbd to ignore the key being requested.

Regards,
Philippe.

The help that's printed when the script starts up says:

 If you do not press the requested keys within 10 seconds, key reading will
 abort.  If your keyboard does not have a requested key, press Space to
 skip to the next key.

Does pressing the spacebar not have the desired effect?  It seems to
work fine for me.
