E00 is the leftmost key on the E row, which is the fifth row from
the bottom (the row containing the spacebar is A). On U.S.-style
keyboards E01 is the "1" key, D01 is "Q", C01 is "A", B01 is "Z".
"Level 1" means
that no shift keys are in effect; Level 2 means that Shift is
down, and Level 3 that AltGr (typically the right Alt key
on keyboards that need it) is down.
This naming scheme allows us to talk about particular keys on the
keyboard without regard to what they are used for in one locale
or another. ISO 9995 is the controlling standard.
