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.

Project files for embedded Visual C++ 3.0, 4.0 and Visual Studio 2005 can be found in VisualCE.zip SDL supports GAPI and WinDib output for Windows CE. GAPI driver supports: - all possible WinCE devices (Pocket PC, Smartphones, HPC) with different orientations of video memory and resolutions. - 4, 8 and 16 bpp devices - special handling of 8bpp on 8bpp devices - VGA mode, you can even switch between VGA and GAPI in runtime (between 240x320 and 480x640 for example). On VGA devices you can use either GAPI or VGA. - Landscape mode and automatic rotation of buttons and stylus coordinates. To enable landscape mode make width of video screen bigger than height. For example: SDL_SetVideoMode(320,240,16,SDL_FULLSCREEN) - WM2005 - SDL_ListModes NOTE: There are several SDL features not available in the WinCE port of SDL. - DirectX is not yet available - Semaphores are not available - Joystick support is not available - CD-ROM control is not available In addition, there are several features that run in "degraded" mode: Preprocessor Symbol Effect =================== ================================= SDL_systimer.c: USE_GETTICKCOUNT Less accurate values for SDL time functions USE_SETTIMER Use only a single marginally accurate timer SDL_syswm.c: DISABLE_ICON_SUPPORT Can't set the runtime window icon SDL_sysmouse.c: USE_STATIC_CURSOR Only the arrow cursor is available SDL_sysevents.c: NO_GETKEYBOARDSTATE Can't get modifier state on keyboard focus SDL_dibevents.c: NO_GETKEYBOARDSTATE Very limited keycode translation SDL_dibvideo.c: NO_GETDIBITS Can't distinguish between 15 bpp and 16 bpp NO_CHANGEDISPLAYSETTINGS No fullscreen support NO_GAMMA_SUPPORT Gamma correction not available
