I think you can get this from Fl::event_text, which is just a char*.
Now, the docs say that this "Returns the text associated with the
current FL_PASTE or FL_DND_RELEASE event." but I have a bit of code
that does this (below) in its handle() method on regular key strokes
and *seems* to do the Right Thing.
case FL_KEYBOARD:
el = Fl::event_length();
key = Fl::event_key();
if(el) key_c = Fl::event_text()[0]; // probably a dodgy
assumption...
Try if that works for you.
