Long ago when I thought I was going to be writing Operating Systems in
Assembly Language, I had a raw keyboard driver interpreting the key codes
from various keyboards.

TERRIBLE to debug (though not as bad as debugging a display driver).

Is that what all this is like?

Ugh...

Do you use lookup tables for all the various keyboard types and operating
systems?

It seems like you almost need a matrix of all the supported systems vs. all
the possible keyboards, with a table for each one...it could just be a file
in the image directory and get loaded at startup.

Then, if someone has some weird keyboard, they could just edit the file...

But then, I probably have no idea what I'm talking about!!!
