String to Key

[dbrgn]

There's no function to get a Key from a &str, right? Do you plan to add such a function?

It could probably easily be generated by using convert.py and linear search, falling back to Key::Character if none of the other keys matches.

No there is currently no function to get a Key from a &str mainly it is not needed for the Servo browser. Servo only converts typed Keys to strings but not the other way around.

As you say it would be easy to add by modifying convert.py. Do you have a project that needs this function? I would be glad to add it.

Notes:

• use binary_search_by instead of linear search
• also implement it for Code
• Only fall back to character if it is a single character + zero or more combining marks
