That depends on the platform and OS you are using. You may be able to
reverse-engineer it for your system by writing a little program to
output the results of a Get_Immediate. But don't expect those results to
be valid for another OS or hardware platform.
Many OS's have a high-level way to get at your special keyboard keys,
but those will be OS calls, not Ada calls.
