VICE - entering control codes?

[Darkhog]

So I've started my adventure with C64 coding, for now in VICE as I don't have money to buy the real deal or place where I could store it (really small apartment) and using Simons' Basic. For now I'm just playing around, but I want to make a vertical scrolling shooter with it. Unfortunately I'm stuck with MUSIC command as it requires inputting control codes for various control characters (Function keys) and I just don't know how to do it under VICE. Anyone know how to do it?

In x64, F1-F8 should actually be mapped to F1-F8, although some programs may require one to use Shift with the odd F-keys like on real hardware (but for your use you should be able to use the even F-keys without Shift). In x128, F1-F12 are the keys across the top of the C128 minus the separate arrow keys, so F9-F12 are the odd F-keys, and the evens require Shift like real hardware.

With the default positional mapping, Control maps to Tab and C= maps to Left Control.
