Appendix A. SCAN CODE REFERENCE

[ LiB ]

This section contains a list of all the scan codes you can use for input in your programs. Scan codes are used in functions such as KeyHit() or KeyDown() , like this:

 KeyDown(scancode)

Input the scan code for the key you want to test for, and the function will return 1 if the key was pressed.

Many of the following keys won't appear on your keyboard; some of them are international keys (like the symbol for the Yen) and some of them only exist on advanced keyboards that have extra keys (like the Calculator key). Anyway, you can find any key that you would ever think of using on this list.
