Fixed bug #618 Description From Tim Angus 2008-08-30 12:23:56 (-) [reply] As we all know SDL 1.2 doesn't handle dead keys well since one key press potentially equals two (or more) characters. For example, on many layouts, keying <backquote>,<space> results in <no character>,<backquote><space>. Since the unicode member of the SDL_keysym struct only has room for one character, only one can be returned. On Linux, the first character is returned. On Windows however, unless the exact number of characters generated by the keypress is 1, nothing is returned. The following patch addresses this inconsistency. Updated patch which includes a further fix to the handling of the numpad when numlock is on. This further fix is courtesy Amanieu d'Antras.

>The system window manager event contains a pointer to system-specific 
information about unknown window manager events.  If you enable this event
using 
<A
HREF="sdleventstate.html"
><TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>SDL_EventState()</TT
></A
>, 
it will be generated whenever unhandled events are received from the window 
manager.  This can be used, for example, to implement cut-and-paste in your 
application.

         Uint8 type;   /* Always SDL_SYSWMEVENT */

If you want to obtain system-specific information about the window manager,
you can fill the version member of a <SPAN
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>SDL_SysWMinfo</SPAN
> 
structure (details can be found in <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>SDL_syswm.h</TT
>, which must be included) using the <TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>SDL_VERSION()</TT
> macro found in 
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>SDL_version.h</TT
>, and pass it to the 
function:
