Thanks for any help, Karl.

SDL/include/SDL_keysym.h contains the typedef, you are looking for:

typedef enum {
/* The keyboard syms have been cleverly chosen to map to ASCII
*/
SDLK_UNKNOWN = 0,
SDLK_FIRST = 0,
SDLK_BACKSPACE = 8,

SNIPPED

    SDLK_EURO               = 321,          /* Some european

keyboards */

    /* Add any other keys here */

    SDLK_LAST

} SDLKey;

Does this answer your question ?

Yes, it does. Thanks. I just searched the keyboard.h all the time.
