For anyone wanting to test what rawKey codes their keyboard gives, here is a utility I wrote ages ago to do this:Hi All,
If crossplatform uniformness is not your piece of cake then please don't read this mail.
But for those who really need to process keyboard input here are some more keyboard anomalies to check.
<snip>
These are tests on a apple usb keyboard. May be there will also be differences on laptop keyboards.
If someone can test and confirm the above then this can be bugzilla'ed.
I'm not sure it is a bug, it is just the differences between operating systems. The Rev engine just passes on the key codes that the operating system sends. If you have the MC IDE, see the "Character Chooser" in the MetaCard "Tools" menu for examples of these differences. Sometimes you can use the macToISO and ISOtoMac functions to translate between the character sets, but I don't think those functions work with non-ascii keystrokes.

While differences between keyboards & operating systems are annoying, the keys you are checking are mostly available using other messages. In NumLock is on, the numeric keys generate arrowKey messages and if NumLock is on, the number can be read directly in a keyDown or keyUp handler.
Cheers, Sarah
