.. in 2.0.4 also (XP host).

Here's a list of some other keys that have wrong/missing descriptions:

KeycapPrefwindow textStatus line text
Left WindowsLeft Windows<key_91>
Right WindowsRight Windows<key_92>
Application (http://i.technet.microsoft.com/Cc181372.cpig_16_keys.gif)Application<key_93>
Pause/BreakPause<key_19>
Num LockPausePause

Also, The text in the "Prefwindow text" column is only shown the first time the preferences window is open. If you close it and go back, it shows the same text as appears in the status bar.

Just updated to 2.0.6; it looks like all the key descriptions are fixed, except Pause :) It still shows up as "<key_19>" on my system.

Thanks for the feedback. This issue should be finally fixed in the next version.

Yes, Pause (and all the other special keys) shows up correctly in the status bar in 2.1.0. Thanks!
