Or perhaps there's one, after all:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Break_key

«Pressing the dedicated Pause key on 101/102-key keyboards sends the
same scancodes as pressing Ctrl, then NumLock, then releasing them in
the reverse order would do; additionally, an E1hex prefix is sent
which enables 101/102-key aware software to discern the two
situations, while older software usually just ignores the prefix.»

Very distant wishlist, indeed.
