I'd say just "emulator users".

I don't see the need for <alt>[fjrsvp]: we have frame, journal, and
view source available in one click via F9-F11 (IIUC your
some-netbooks-share-F11-and-F12 comment), and we have the existing,
ubiquitous fallbacks of <alt><shift>[...].  Why deprecate the existing
combinations in favor of combinations that are more likely to clash
with existing applications?
