    What does Google say? I hope you're not using this forum in lieu of what should be your primary research tools: manuals, books, and web searches. It's rather presumptuous to assume that we don't have anything better to do than provide answers you're too lazy to look up.
    My best code is written with the delete key.

    That's because there are no such "escape sequences". What would you expect if your program would print "F11"? That it would magically be pressed on the keyboard?
