Date: Thu, 05 Jul 2007 14:02:33 -0700 From: Sam Lantinga 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: Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2007 19:50:28 +0200 From: Christian Walther Subject: Re: SDL 1.3 keyboard plan > Sounds great, go ahead and send me a patch. 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. -Christian

0 if the event is a loss or 1 if it is a gain\&.
.TP 20
\fBstate\fR
\fBSDL_APPMOUSEFOCUS\fP if mouse focus was gained or lost, \fBSDL_APPINPUTFOCUS\fP if input focus was gained or lost, or \fBSDL_APPACTIVE\fP if the application was iconified (\fBgain\fR=0) or restored(\fBgain\fR=1)\&.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBSDL_ActiveEvent\fR is a member of the \fI\fBSDL_Event\fR\fR union and is used when an event of type \fBSDL_ACTIVEEVENT\fP is reported\&.
.PP
When the mouse leaves or enters the window area a \fBSDL_APPMOUSEFOCUS\fP type activation event occurs, if the mouse entered the window then \fBgain\fR will be 1, otherwise \fBgain\fR will be 0\&. A \fBSDL_APPINPUTFOCUS\fP type activation event occurs when the application loses or gains keyboard focus\&. This usually occurs when another application is made active\&. Finally, a \fBSDL_APPACTIVE\fP type event occurs when the application is either minimised/iconified (\fBgain\fR=0) or restored\&.
.PP
.RS
\fBNote:  
.PP
This event does not occur when an application window is first created\&.
