Sdl key query

SDL Development
1

Hi

Is there any way by which I can get to know the corresponding character when a
key is pressed?
for e.g
I press the alphabet q : can I get this information from the sdl key?

Best advice: Check the documentation.

At least in my system the top level document is found at /[wherever you unpacked it]/SDL-1.2.13/docs/html/index.html

More specifically you have the keyboard explained in chapter I-3: Input handling / Handling the keyboard.

There you can see how the SDL_keysym structure is built, and how to figure out which key was pressed.

If you need specific help, check these links. What you want is the event
SDL_KEYDOWN and then check the sym (something like event.key.keysym.sym).
The key itself is a constant define; i.e., SDLK_q. If you’re curious, there
is no capital SDLK_Q, only key modifiers (that tell you shift is down, caps
is on, alt is pressed, etc.).

It sounds like you’re very new to SDL, so, I’d check the tutorials if the
documentation confuses you.

Also look for SDL_EnableUNICODE() and the corresponding part of the
SDL_Event struct (event.key.keysym.unicode). This is useful for
actual text input.
