scancode_to_ascii(3) Allegro manual scancode_to_ascii(3)NAMEscancode_to_ascii - Converts a scancode to an ASCII character. Allegro
game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
int scancode_to_ascii(int scancode);
DESCRIPTION
Converts the given scancode to an ASCII character for that key (man‐
gling Unicode values), returning the unshifted uncapslocked result of
pressing the key, or zero if the key isn't a character-generating key
or the lookup can't be done. The lookup cannot be done for keys like
the F1-F12 keys or the cursor keys, and some drivers will only return
approximate values. Generally, if you want to display the name of a key
to the user, you should use the scancode_to_name function.
Example:
int ascii;
...
ascii = scancode_to_ascii(scancode);
allegro_message("You pressed '%c'\n", ascii);
