As I said, I did it, so clearly it is possible. Without launching the thing and making a new set I don't have the step by step instructions, but you don't bother with any of the edits, you simply arrow down the lists till you get to the key you want, and things like insert are in the special category if I remember. When I found one thing would not work, I tried another, and I remember the edits not working so you can't just press a key, but I explored nad found it worked with the lists. When using vo-keys doesn't work I tab and vice versa
