At best you might be able to determine what keystrokes are used (maybe not always) and what characters are ultimately generated, although characters generated may not be in the same order as keystrokes that generate those characters.

I think for these key identifier strings we shouldn’t be worrying about
what character input is then generated and passed to the application,
since that’s the job of TextEvent.

I guess I'm not following this.

So you're just looking at the scan codes then of the keys being pressed?

if i press the q/Q key are you looking at a particular physical key key on the keyboard? i.e. ultimately at the scan codes or virtual key codes?

or are you looking at a higher level?

i.e. the q/Q key on a QWERTY keyboard is a different physical key than the q|Q key on a AZERTY keyboard.

So are you using a positional approach using the virtual keys or scan codes of the physical keyboard, or are you interpreting the keystroke at a higher level so that key interpretation is mnemonic, i.e. does it matter which key is typed? or is it the q-key independent of the physical position of the q|Q key on the keyboard?
