The SHIFT LOCK key (little used on the BBC Micro) was not mapped to a key on the Mac keyboard, though in BeebEm Windows it was mapped to F11. I propose mapping Mac F11 to the much more frequently used Beeb COPY key. The Mac End key was previously mapped to Beeb COPY, but most Macs don't have an End key, making this awkward. The rarely needed SHIFT LOCK key can be then be mapped to the Mac F13 key, which only full-sized Mac keyboards have. It won't be missed by most users who don't have a full-sized keyboard. This commit also fixes the fact that BREAK was mapped to both F12 and F13 and the incorrect encoding of the Help/keyboard.html file which was scrambling keyboard symbols. Old mapping: COPY -> End SHIFT_LOCK -> (unmapped) BREAK -> F12, F13 New mapping: COPY -> F11 BREAK -> F12 SHIFT_LOCK -> F13

New mapping:
Note that the new mapping for COPY is consistent with the information that was already in Help/keyboard.html which already claimed that Mac F11 mapped to COPY.
