keyboard_keypressed(3) Svgalib User Manual keyboard_keypressed(3) NAME keyboard_keypressed - check if a key is pressed when in raw keyboard mode SYNOPSIS #include <vgakeyboard.h> int keyboard_keypressed(int scancode); DESCRIPTION When in raw keyboard mode this routine checks if the key with scancode is pressed and returns KEY_PRESSED or KEY_NOTPRESSED accordingly. Actually KEY_PRESSED is 1 and KEY_NOTPRESSED is 0, s.t. you can use constructs like: if(keyboard_keypressed(SCANCODE_ENTER)) { /* do something */ } Please note that keyboard events will only be processed when you occasion- ally call keyboard_update(3) or keyboard_waitforupdate(3). keyboard_translatekeys(3) allows certain remap operations which make cer- tain keys (digits, enter) which might have several physical keys show up under the same scancodes. Here are the supported scancodes. The names of the #defines originate from the US keyboard layout, for other countries, they'll refer to the key in the same physical location, but the keycap will have a different inscrip- tion. For the list below, add SCANCODE_ in front of the names to get the right name for your C source. That means, if it lists BACKSLASH below, you shall use SCANCODE_BACKSLASH as symbol in your program. In addition to the names below we also have SCANCODE_0 - SCANCODE_9, SCANCODE_KEYPAD0 - SCAN- CODE_KEYPAD9, SCANCODE_A - SCANCODE_Z, and SCANCODE_F1 - SCANCODE_F12. The other key names are ESCAPE, MINUS, EQUAL, BACKSPACE, TAB, BRACKET_LEFT, BRACKET_RIGHT, ENTER, LEFTCONTROL, SEMICOLON, APOSTROPHE, GRAVE, LEFTSHIFT, BACKSLASH, COMMA, PERIOD, SLASH, RIGHTSHIFT, KEYPADMULTIPLY, LEFTALT, SPACE, CAPSLOCK, NUMLOCK, SCROLLLOCK, CURSORUPLEFT, CURSORUP, CUR- SORUPRIGHT, KEYPADMINUS, CURSORLEFT, CURSORRIGHT, KEYPADPLUS, CURSORDOWN- LEFT, CURSORDOWN, CURSORDOWNRIGHT, KEYPADPERIOD, LESS, KEYPADENTER, RIGHT- CONTROL, CONTROL, KEYPADDIVIDE, PRINTSCREEN, RIGHTALT, BREAK, BREAK_ALTER- NATIVE, HOME, CURSORBLOCKUP, PAGEUP, CURSORBLOCKLEFT, CURSORBLOCKRIGHT, END, CURSORBLOCKDOWN, PAGEDOWN, INSERT, and REMOVE.
