Remarks

An SDL scancode is the physical representation of a key on the keyboard, independent of language and keyboard mapping.

Values of this type are used to represent keyboard keys, among other places in the scancode field of the SDL_KeyboardEvent structure.

The values in this enumeration are based on the USB usage page standard: https://usb.org/sites/default/files/hut1_5.pdf

Version

This enum is available since SDL 3.1.3.
