Description

Currently, Windows is using "virtual keys" and all keyboards keys have a name. Under Linux and Mac OS, each key has the name of its content but not its position in keyboard layout. While we need to use already defined key names in "nel/misc/events.h", we can't map most of these keys.

We should map all identical key to the same key name under all platform (even if new keys can be created as needed).

I attached a patch which would work but keycodes are different under some platform (Mac OS X) so it needs some testing before applying it :)

Only a few keys are not yet defined, please post missing keycodes which are not in the switch block :) Thanks.

Did you test the current version already on a Mac?
For me, several number keys are not mapped correctly. Eg. 1 maps to 7, 2 to nothing, 3 to 8.

If you did not test it on another Mac machine, I could adjust it to match my system :)

#6 Updated by kervala about 8 years ago

Yes please could you adjust to your keycodes ? (I still can't launch xev on my Mac OS X :s)

Thanks a lot :)

#7 Updated by rti about 8 years ago

Sure. Will have a look into that.
