Which are the vim key notations?

Question

Is there a list of the key notations and combination for vim. Something like this:

<Right>        Right arrow 
<C-t>          Ctr+t
etc..

I found a somewhat incomplete table here: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Mapping_keys_in_Vim_-Tutorial%28Part_2%29

But I have not come across with an extensive list yet.

Solution

Use the vim help:

:h key-notation

The corresponding VimDoc page is http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/intro.html#key-notation.

A partial reproduction:

Do you know whats the notation for actual Fn key? Like on some keyboards we have it right near windows key usually? Its sometimes denoted as "Fn" key. Its also called as function lock key sometimes I think. Thanks

@theprogrammer there is none. Usually it modifies the key behaviour without the application even knowing (or in some cases, even the OS).
