Subject: SDL 1.3 keyboard plan
After lots of discussion with Christian, this is what we came up with:
> So, to sum up...
> SDLK_* become the physical keys, starting at > (1<<21)
> We create a macro SDLK_INDEX(X)
> We have two functions SDL_GetLayoutKey(SDLKey) and SDL_GetKeyName()
> SDL_GetLayoutKey maps to UCS4 for printable characters, and SDLK* for
non-printable characters
> and does so based on the OS's current keyboard layout
> SDL_GetKeyName() handles both SDLK_* and UCS4, converting UCS4 to UTF-8 and
converting SDLK_* into our names, which are UTF-8 for printable characters.
> WASD folks use SDLK_*, and 'I' folks use SDL_GetLayoutKey(SDLK_*)
Here is the patch he came up with, and his e-mail about it:

Here goes! Thanks for having a look. Don't hesitate to comment if
anything does not conform to your ideas.
One caveat: Committing this now may break compilability of some video
drivers - specifically, if they use any of the SDLK_* codes that were
obsoleted and moved into SDL_compat.h. I only tried Cocoa (which did
break, but is already fixed) and X11 (which didn't, but then its key
handling is #iffed out). If that's a problem, it may need to go into
a branch.
