Keyboard keys

Overview

See key input for how these are used.

These key codes are inspired by the USB HID Usage Tables v1.12 (p. 53-60), but re-arranged to map to 7-bit ASCII for printable keys (function keys are put in the 256+ range).

The naming of the key codes follow these rules:

• The US keyboard layout is used

• Names of printable alpha-numeric characters are used (e.g. “A”, “R”, “3”, etc.)

• For non-alphanumeric characters, Unicode:ish names are used (e.g. “COMMA”, “LEFT_SQUARE_BRACKET”, etc.). Note that some names do not correspond to the Unicode standard (usually for brevity)

• Keys that lack a clear US mapping are named “WORLD_x”

• For non-printable keys, custom names are used (e.g. “F4”, “BACKSPACE”, etc.)
