this name's getting a bit unwieldy (alas, C doesn't allow commas in
identifiers).  would using something like RewriteFunctionKeysForSearch() and
RewriteExtraKeysForSearch() be clearer?

I used RewriteExtendedKeys().

The function also rewrites Alt-Backspace and such when not using Search key as
modifier, so "ForSearch" seemed too restricted.

 
   // When the Search key acts as a function key, it remaps Search+1
   // through Search+= to F1 through F12. Returns true when the |event| is
   // rewritten.
   bool RewriteFunctionKeys(ui::KeyEvent* event);
 
   // Rewrites the located |event|.
   void RewriteLocatedEvent(ui::LocatedEvent* event);
 
   // Overwrites |event| with the keycodes and flags.
