(This is the documentation for SDL3, which is under heavy development and the API is changing! SDL2 is the current stable version!)

SDL_Keycode

The SDL virtual key representation.

Header File

Defined in SDL_keycode.h, but apps should use #include <SDL3/SDL.h>

Syntax

typedef Sint32 SDL_Keycode;

Remarks

Values of this type are used to represent keyboard keys using the current layout of the keyboard. These values include Unicode values representing the unmodified character that would be generated by pressing the key, or an SDLK_* constant for those keys that do not generate characters.

A special exception is the number keys at the top of the keyboard which map to SDLK_0...SDLK_9 on AZERTY layouts.

Version

This datatype is available since SDL 3.0.0.
