I was just working through this article and the database - http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Hardkey_And_Button_Mapping
The default key mappings for my onscreen orbiters are all the same and includes a first line of:
10 0 -300 1 741 159 1
From my reading of the article and the database, this seems to suggest that key 'F1' (mapping 10) sends a message of "command" type to the local Orbiter (-300), with a command number of 741 which means Goto Screen, and the screen specified (1) is Main. But when I modify this to a different screen number, regen and reload, it still does exactly the same thing. Moreover, 'F2' is mapped to "back" but also calls up Main. And F6/7/8 do specific things, but there isn't any mapping for them in this devicedata field...
What am I missing?
Some keys are hard-coded into Orbiter, as part of the HID handler, for UI2.

OK, but that still doesn't explain why none of the keys coded in that entry do what they are supposed to do. Some of the other F keys are supposed to Reload the router, call up the audio browser, stop media playing, etc, but none of them do that. And any key I customise to do something doesn't work either... this field doesn't seem to work at all...
