NAME

       SDL_HINT_KEYCODE_OPTIONS - A variable that controls keycode representation in keyboard events.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>

       #define SDL_HINT_KEYCODE_OPTIONS "SDL_KEYCODE_OPTIONS"

DESCRIPTION

       This variable is a comma separated set of options for translating keycodes in events:

       • "none": Keycode options are cleared, this overrides other options.

       •  "hide_numpad":  The  numpad  keysyms  will  be  translated into their non-numpad versions based on the
       current NumLock state. For example, SDLK_KP_4 would become SDLK_4 if SDL_KMOD_NUM is  set  in  the  event
       modifiers, and SDLK_LEFT if it is unset.

       • "french_numbers": The number row on French keyboards is inverted, so pressing the 1 key would yield the
       keycode SDLK_1, or '1', instead of SDLK_AMPERSAND, or '&'

       •  "latin_letters":  For  keyboards  using  non-Latin  letters,  such as Russian or Thai, the letter keys
       generate keycodes as though it had an en_US layout. e.g. pressing the key associated with  SDL_SCANCODE_A
       on a Russian keyboard would yield 'a' instead of a Cyrillic letter.

       The default value for this hint is "french_numbers,latin_letters"

       Some platforms like Emscripten only provide modified keycodes and the options are not used.

       These  options  do  not  affect the return value of SDL_GetKeyFromScancode() or SDL_GetScancodeFromKey(),
       they just apply to the keycode included in key events.

       This hint can be set anytime.

AVAILABILITY

       This hint is available since SDL 3.2.0.
