    Instances of NaturalKey represent all keys on the keyboard not known by convention as 'modifier keys'. These can either be keys that belong to a natural language of some kind(e.g., "A", "1"), any Unicode character (e.g., "backspace"), or they can be special controls keys used by computers (e.g., "F10", "PageUp").
