The toolbar appears to allow for defining up to 7 keys -- besides the mandatory default Ctrl key. If you define more than 7 keys, then 6 keys are displayed followed by a downward arrow symbol... when touched (clicked) it opens a side-menu with the additional keys you defined. But watch out, the "switch to full-screen icon disappears... it is actually the last entry in the side-menu -- BUT IT IS BLANK... but clicking on that blank space actually switches you to / from full-screen.

In an ancient version of Osso Xterm you could program multi-chat sequences. Here, I succeeded in programing keys such as "<ctrl>c" and even "<ctrl>backslash"... but apparently I couldn't program a sequence like "<ctrl>cy" to send a 'Ctrl-c' char followed by 'y'.
