I’ve been working on keysyms lately. I’m making my own set, just like
Quake.
Now, there’s no end of keysyms out there. I’ve found these sets so far:
- X
- GDK
- SDL
- Quake
- MacOS
- PalmOS
Each is slightly different. They use different defines, and different
codes.
It is bad enough that they use varying degrees of characters: ASCII, ISO
8559-1, UNICODE. And the naming is inconsistent.
But the non-characters (keypad, function keys, controls, numlock, etc.)
and modifiers (shift, control, etc.) are all different. They vary
widely.
Now, there must be some standard in place. ISO? X? Windows?
Any ideas on unifying these sets of keysyms? Or a pointer to where it’s
already done?–
