Option to fix bug #851 For some people setting the period size works better (and is what SDL 1.2.13 did), but for most people it's the same or worse. You can use an environment variable to pick which one you want.

><P
>The <TT
CLASS="STRUCTFIELD"
><I
>scancode</I
></TT
> field should generally be left alone, it is the hardware dependent scancode returned by the keyboard. The <TT
CLASS="STRUCTFIELD"
><I
>sym</I
></TT
> field is extremely useful. It is the SDL-defined value of the key (see <A
HREF="sdlkey.html"
>SDL Key Syms</A
>. This field is very useful when you are checking for certain key presses, like so:

  switch(event.type){
    case SDL_KEYDOWN:

      break;
    .

<TT

>mod</I
></TT
> stores the current state of the keyboard modifiers as explained in <A
HREF="sdlgetmodstate.html"
><TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>SDL_GetModState</TT
></A
>. The <TT
CLASS="STRUCTFIELD"
><I
>unicode</I
></TT
> is only used when UNICODE translation is enabled with <A
HREF="sdlenableunicode.html"
><TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>SDL_EnableUNICODE</TT
></A
>. If <TT
CLASS="STRUCTFIELD"
><I
>unicode</I
></TT
> 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:
<PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>char ch;
if ( (keysym.unicode &#38; 0xFF80) == 0 ) {
  ch = keysym.unicode &#38; 0x7F;
}
else {
  printf("An International Character.\n");
}</PRE
>
UNICODE translation does have a slight overhead so don't enable it unless its needed.</P
