annotate docs/man3/SDL_keysym.3 @ 2318:0c653886cce7

HandleEvent() returns done each time it is called. If done was set to 0 the program should quit, but because done is not checked until *all* events are handled a following event can reset done to 1 and prevent the program from terminating when told to. I fixed the while loop that handles events to check for the state of done after handling each event. That could leave some events unhandled when the program exits, but it ensures that the program will exit.

It is the SDL-defined value of the key (see \fISDL Key Syms\fR\&. This field is very useful when you are checking for certain key presses, like so:

52 \fBmod\fR stores the current state of the keyboard modifiers as explained in \fI\fBSDL_GetModState\fP\fR\&. The \fBunicode\fR is only used when UNICODE translation is enabled with \fI\fBSDL_EnableUNICODE\fP\fR\&. If \fBunicode\fR 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:
