Keyboard solution? (was: Keyboard azerty vs qwerty)

SDL Development

I’ve just received mail from one of other ARAnyM emulator
(http://aranym.atari.org) developer. We were speaking about this problem
too.

The only environment that maps the scancodes to virtual keys while
respecting the keyboard layout is X11.

Had you ever had a look to the microwindows project?

http://www.microwindows.org

Have you talked to the MicroWindows developers? It looks like they just
have a lookup table like SDL does - I don’t think they actually solve the
problem.

In fact, looking at the code I don’t see where they handle WM_CHAR or
WM_KEYDOWN at the low level at all…

microwindows-0.89pre8/src/drivers/kbd_* files…

The driver specific scancodes are converted into unique scancodes.

But there isn’t any Windows support in those files, as far as I can see.
They’re just for Linux and FreeBSD.

Let’s take this discussion offline…
