These are hooks. Any functions hooked to them will be run when certain events happen in-game.
These hooks all determine what happens when someone presses one of these buttons.
The server handles these, so they have to be placed in server-side files, or autorun in the server folder.

Simple example:
[lua]hook.Add( "ShowSpare1", "YourHookName", function( ply )
ply:ConCommand( "ulx menu" )
end )[/lua]

These hooks all return the player that pressed the key, so you make them run the console command to open the ULX menu (as an example). Most addons should have a console command like this.

Thanks for that but is there anyway to add a different key like F5, F6 OR F7?

You could use : [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/input/IsKeyDown[/url] and here is a list with all the keys [url]http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/indexa077.html[/url]

In that case you're better off using input.WasKeyPressed(), input.WasKeyReleased() or input.WasKeyTyped()

I'd recommend against using a specific key, unless you want to annoy users.

If the hooks Internet1001 gave you aren't enough, you could also use the [url="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/GM/PlayerBindPress"]PlayerBindPress[/url] hook, or the [url="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/GM/KeyPress"]KeyPress[/url] and [url="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/GM/KeyRelease"]KeyRelease[/url] hooks which use the [url="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Enums/IN"]IN_[/url] enums.
