- Summary: ESC rawkey code wrong in RKM Libs, 3rd edition
- Keywords: RAWKEY, RKM, libs
- X-Newsreader: TIN [UNIX 1.3 950824BETA PL0]
-
- On page 819 of RKM: Libraries, 3rd Edition, it is stated that the
- rawkey code for the Escape key would be 45. 0x45 is implied since
- in the same table there are hex values such as 4C, 4D.
-
- However, my program reports an IDCMP_RAWKEY IntuiMessage->Code value
- of 0x1B when I press Esc. I recall seeing this 0x1B somewhere else
- as the Esc keycode, so I think it's the correct one.
-
- The question is: Why the heck does RKM Libs page 819 list 0x45 for the
- Escape keycode? 0x1B isn't even 45 decimal.
-
- (Another point of interest would be the poor key whose keycode *is*
- 0x45... Mistaken for Esc in every program written with RKM. :-D)
