Detailed Description

Keysym structure

• The scancode is hardware dependent, and should not be used by general applications. If no hardware scancode is available, it will be 0.

• The 'unicode' translated character is only available when character translation is enabled by the SDL_EnableUNICODE() API. If non-zero, this is a UNICODE character corresponding to the keypress. If the high 9 bits of the character are 0, then this maps to the equivalent ASCII character:

          char ch;
          if ( (keysym.unicode & 0xFF80) == 0 ) {
                  ch = keysym.unicode & 0x7F;
          } else {
                  An international character..
          }
