Obtaining scancodes #56

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
It would be useful to obtain scancodes which are completely layout-independent. 
The value is readily available in the kbhook->scanCode field. There only needs 
to be a check if it's less than 0x100 because switching to or from certain 
applications seems to generate WM_KEYUP event scancodes in the range 0x200.

I have been thinking about changing that behavior on windows.  I will see what 
I can do in 1.2.

not only windows. Scancodes should be obtainable cross-platform. They are 
keyboard-bound, not OS or locale bound.

Just for clarification, neither OS X nor X11 provide *ANY* method for accessing 
the scancodes of virtual keycodes reported in userland.  This will be worked 
around using some creative, platform dependent lookups.  Windows should be 
switched over the scancodes at this point in the trunk.  Compilation 
instructions are attached to bug #67.

As of 1.2.0-Beta1 Virtual key codes now use scan code set 1 as their values for 
all platforms.
