Same here, long time ago, but I think I recall Oracle Forms had terminal files to map keystrokes... something like fmrweb.res.

Wait, just googled and found:

"The default key mappings are different between client/server and web forms. The standard file used in web-deployed forms to map keypresses to Forms functions is FMRWEB.RES (located in the FORMS60 directory). This contains key mappings
for the Solaris environment."
