When I wrote the original emulator, it was meant to be just that ; and it is actually the basis for all implementations. Some things are just inconsistent, e.g. Ctrl+Escape doesn't work across platforms. So I've been tinkering with that this morning - the Javascript version no longer has the debugger code, and Ctrl+Esc should reset everywhere.
I built it on an emulator framework that's at least six years old and has been used for several emulators of various types, which doesn't help either.
On a related matter, the six function keys which you can program with the fkey BASIC command (e.g. fkey 1,"Hello world"+chr$(13) ) won't work on many implementations because F1-F6 are coopted for something else in the browser or whatever. It is a system standard that these can be done with Ctrl+1 .. Ctrl+6 as well as F1-F6.
