SDL_keysym(3)		       SDL API Reference		 SDL_keysym(3)

NAME
       SDL_keysym - Keysym structure

STRUCTURE DEFINITION
       typedef struct{
	 Uint8 scancode;
	 SDLKey sym;
	 SDLMod mod;
	 Uint16 unicode;
       } SDL_keysym;

STRUCTURE DATA
       scancode		   Hardware specific scancode

       sym		   SDL virtual keysym

       mod		   Current key modifiers

       unicode		   Translated character

DESCRIPTION
       The  SDL_keysym structure is used by reporting key presses and releases
       since it is a part of the SDL_KeyboardEvent.

       The scancode field should generally be left alone, it is	 the  hardware
       dependent scancode returned by the keyboard. The sym field is extremely
       useful. It is the SDL-defined value of the key (see SDL Key Syms.  This
       field  is  very	useful	when you are checking for certain key presses,
       like so:

       .
       .
       while(SDL_PollEvent(&event)){
	 switch(event.type){
	   case SDL_KEYDOWN:
	     if(event.key.keysym.sym==SDLK_LEFT)
	       move_left();
	     break;
	   .
	   .
	   .
	 }
       }
       .
       .

	mod stores the current state of the keyboard modifiers as explained in
       SDL_GetModState.	 The  unicode is only used when UNICODE translation is
       enabled with SDL_EnableUNICODE. If unicode is non-zero then this a  the
       UNICODE	character corresponding to the keypress. If the high 9 bits of
       the character are 0, then this maps to the equivalent ASCII character:

       char ch;
       if ( (keysym.unicode & 0xFF80) == 0 ) {
	 ch = keysym.unicode & 0x7F;
       }
       else {
	 printf("An International Character.
       ");
       }

	UNICODE translation does have a slight overhead	 so  don't  enable  it
       unless its needed.
