The virtual Apple keyboard is mapped to your computer keyboard. Letters (uppercase, lowercase and control), numbers, symbols and other keys are directly mapped to corresponding keys.
The Open apple and Closed apple keys are mapped to left Alt and right Alt keys.
The Ctrl - Reset keys combination is mapped to Ctrl - Pause keys (the Reset key alone had no effect on Apple keyboard).
This mean that, if you want to restart the Apple //e, you have to press left Alt - Ctrl - Pause where, on the original keyboard, you were pressing Open apple - Ctrl - Reset.
