32 The \fBscancode\fR field should generally be left alone, it is the hardware dependent scancode returned by the keyboard\&. The \fBsym\fR field is extremely useful\&. 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:
