Thomas,
In my frustration, I did not give you that important information. I am using SDL2 on Hatari 2.0.0. Your suggestion worked perfectly. Yesterday, I did notice where the F11 and F12 keys could be remapped in the menu. In my case, I can use the macOS shortcuts instead so I do not need F11 and F12.
Is there a way I can use modifier keys in keymap.txt? For example, use Ctrl-F11,98 for the Help key?
Thanks again for your help. Hopefully, the manual can be updated with the new keymap information for SDL2.

I thought I had this working a long time ago but, when I tried to change the values in the keymap.txt file, the Help key is still mapped to F13 and the Undo key is mapped to F14. Unfortunately, the base Mac keyboard that I am using again does not have an F13 or F14 key so I am unable to press the key that generates a Help or Undo key.

I have looked at keymap.c to find the ST scancode and SDL_keysym.h to see the scancode generated by the Mac, but I am still doing something wrong. If someone can point me in the correct direction, I would really appreciate it.
