Sdlkey to ascii?

SDL Development

Hi there.

Is there a function that maps an SDL key event to ascii? (For the subset
of events where it makes sense, obviously).

I can write one myself, but since I am lazy, I would rather avoid to
duplicate the effort…

Thanks,

RTFM - I figured it out. (And the crowd is amazed).

Weird, this unicode stuff.

Linux supports the notion of a command line or a shell for the same reason
that only children read books with only pictures in them. Language, be it
English or something else, is the only tool flexible enough to accomplish a
sufficiently broad range of tasks.

Try this:

SDL_EnableUNICODE(1);
ascii = event.key.keysym.unicode;
