But should we use X11 as the standard library then, even on Windows or Mac?
It surely is better than nothing, but it feels a bit weird to install X11
just for using the key codes.
Maybe splitting these keys into a separate package would be a good idea?

Several libraries define their own codes for they keyboard (GLFW, GTK, GLUT, etc) Maybe it would be nice to agree on a standard datatype for keys? This might also include digital buttons on a joystick, etc... The Windows API has virtual key codes for this.
X windows key symbols are used extensively in XMonad. They are found in the X11 package, in the modules Graphics.X11.Types and Graphics.X11.ExtraTypes.
