Quote: "as is, not so much where the AppGameKit scancodes return the "right ones" for me. the only difference that i see in yours is the [#] key which i can't say i've seen before on an american PC keyboard. maybe 1 or 2 others."
It's on the UK Qwerty, as where # is on the US Qwerty we have a £
There are other differences if you look, such-as where the Forward and Backslash are... I always imported a UK Keyboard when working in the States because your layout of the operator keys always felt a little unintuitive to me.
Was funny watching others try to program on my keyboard >_<
With this said... I actually agree that the Scancodes in AppGameKit are a little annoying as they ONLY match the US Keyboard Layout (keep in mind TGC is based in Wigan, UK)
It makes sense mind., so the Scancodes themselves are not actually linked to specific keyboard functions:
i.e. Scancode 81 might be Q on a Qwerty Board, but is D on a Dvorak Board... and yes, people do use them.
Personally., what I have is a Scancode.agc where I've written out all of the keys as #Constant KEY_{keyid} {scancode} that I import to my projects.
I've attached it for anyone wanting to use it... as a note Print Screen (PrtScn) is missing because AppGameKit doesn't support it, no idea why.
On top of this I've also added the Menu Button (which might be labeled as Cmd or Fn on some keyboards, so added those as options too)
(in case the upload doesn't work or takes a while... the forum is weird about uploads other than images for me)
