List of events/actions for programmatic keybindings

Hey lovely people

I'm a first time user of KOReader and just installed it on Linux. After a quick look around, it seems it has extensive support for keyboard shortcuts. So I'd like to take advantage of that and create a keyboard-driven workflow, especially since I'm on Linux, rather than a tablet. But after a quick skim through the user guide and wiki, I couldn't find a list of the possible actions (and their description) which can be assigned a hotkey.

According to this wiki page, it says that in the configuration file `event_map.lua`, "an integer key is associated to an event". I'm assuming here "event" is synonymous with action. The same page also mentions that configuration "is limited to associating predefined actions with each button." However, the page doesn't say where to find the complete list of predefined actions.

Separately, this section in the user guide mentions there are 200+ actions which "allows you to control every aspect of KOReader". However, the actions are listed in plain english, not in the format required by the `event_map.lua` file (the wiki page examples shows the action names look like "RPgBack", "Down", etc).

So if anyone could help me find the correct names for actions that I can use in `event_map.lua` for keyboard bindings, I'd be very grateful.

Many thanks in advance!
