For Rich Displays, valid values are "Enter", F1" to "F24", "Pause/Break", "Clear", "Alt-F1", "Help", "PageUp", "PageDown", "Print", "RecordBackspace", and "AutoEnter"
on timeout flag or additional keys - this second parameter is optional; if the second parameter is passed as True, the key is sent after a small timeout allowing other JavaScript code to finish running first; alternatively, for Genie, multiple parameters can be used to send additional keys on subsequent screens effectively causing a multi-step action
