The names of the keys are usually rather intuitive: 'a names the key A, "1" names the key 1, and so on. Note that, although usually the names can be given as symbols, in some cases the string representation is required, like in the case of digits, punctuation marks or brackets. Note also, that not all these characters will be accessible through the event subsystem in direct mode (it should depend on the keyboard layout): for instance, if exclamation mark is obtained by pressing shift and '1' (in typing mode), only the events related with pressing shift and '1' will be generated (in direct mode).
