There are actually two more types, namely key maps and key-map lists. It's just that you refer to them through strings. They were thrown in afterwards with V1.2 of TPU (shipped with VMS 4.4) in a quite ugly way. They are quite useful though. A key-map list is something you associate with a prefix key.
