Did you try "Escape"? In general when you want the name for a key as X 
knows it (which is what openbox obviously uses), run xev and press your 
key, you'll find the name somewhere in there. If it should happen that it 
says NoSymbol or something to that effect, you can take the number called 
keycode and convert it to hex and use it in rc.xml, ie "0x42".
