Which fonts are used on the keys of a MacBook (Air/Pro)
While designing a virtual keyboard mapper, I wonder which font or fonts would allow covering all the symbols found on MacBook keys. Fontawesome covers only a few.

It depends on what you mean by "all". Some can probably only be found in Apple Symbols. You can check the repertoire of that and any other font in the Font Book app.

You can check which fonts have a particular character via Character Viewer

You really made my day! The SF Pro font indeed contains all the missing glyphs (and much more) to complete my virtual keyboard mapper. SF is (not surprisingly) a heavy-weight font for web use, but it works like a charm.
I wrote 'all' because I do no think one font exists that contains all the glyphs one can find on a MacBook keyboard. Thank you Tom, for the tip on the Character Viewer and Font book. I found a few extra glyphs in Apple Symbols, so we're almost there: More specifically, the glyphs on the F3-F4-F5-F6 buttons remain particularly hard to find.
Another font to check is the SF set, which I think you may have to download from Apple.
