The mobile/touch special keys bar is hardcoded. The KEYS array lives in web/index.html:944 (Esc / Tab / Enter / arrows / Home / End / PgUp / PgDn) and there's no module option to change it.

Deployers can't add, remove, or reorder keys — e.g. someone who wants a ^C chord, function keys, or a different arrow layout has to patch the SPA.

Goal: expose the keybar layout through myServices.forge (per-deployment, possibly per-channel) so the served KEYS set is driven by config rather than baked into index.html.

Keys map to /keys ids (see KEY_MAP in web/tmux_ctl.py), so the option needs to reference those ids or allow raw send-keys sequences.
Keep the current set as the default.
