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.

.TH "SDL_SetColorKey" "3" "Tue 11 Sep 2001, 23:01" "SDL" "SDL API Reference" 
.SH "NAME"
SDL_SetColorKey \- Sets the color key (transparent pixel) in a blittable surface and RLE acceleration\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBint \fBSDL_SetColorKey\fP\fR(\fBSDL_Surface *surface, Uint32 flag, Uint32 key\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
 Sets the color key (transparent pixel) in a blittable surface and enables or disables RLE blit acceleration\&.
.PP
RLE acceleration can substantially speed up blitting of images with large horizontal runs of transparent pixels (i\&.e\&., pixels that match the \fBkey\fR value)\&. The \fBkey\fR must be of the same pixel format as the \fBsurface\fR, \fI\fBSDL_MapRGB\fP\fR is often useful for obtaining an acceptable value\&.
.PP
If \fBflag\fR is \fBSDL_SRCCOLORKEY\fP then \fBkey\fR is the transparent pixel value in the source image of a blit\&.
.PP
If \fBflag\fR is OR\&'d with \fBSDL_RLEACCEL\fP then the surface will be draw using RLE acceleration when drawn with \fISDL_BlitSurface\fR\&. The surface will actually be encoded for RLE acceleration the first time \fISDL_BlitSurface\fR or \fISDL_DisplayFormat\fR is called on the surface\&.
.PP
If \fBflag\fR is 0, this function clears any current color key\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
This function returns \fB0\fR, or \fB-1\fR if there was an error\&.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.PP
\fI\fBSDL_BlitSurface\fP\fR, \fI\fBSDL_DisplayFormat\fP\fR, \fI\fBSDL_MapRGB\fP\fR, \fI\fBSDL_SetAlpha\fP\fR
