Code Examples

Remarks

Values of this type are used to represent the physical location of a keyboard key on the keyboard. This is correlated to the [[SDL_Keycode]] associated with that location to give a key press meaning.

These are used in many places, including Values of this type are used to represent keyboard keys, among other places in the SDL_keysym::scancode key.keysym.scancode field of the SDL_Event structure.

The values in this enumeration are based on the USB usage page standard:

To look up a scancode or keycode by decimal or hexadecimal value you can use the following tables:
