SDL_EnableUNICODE(3) SDL API Reference SDL_EnableUNICODE(3)NAME
SDL_EnableUNICODE- Enable UNICODE translation
SYNOPSIS
#include "SDL.h"
int SDL_EnableUNICODE(int enable);
DESCRIPTION
Enables/Disables Unicode keyboard translation.
To obtain the character codes corresponding to received
keyboard events, Unicode translation must first be turned
on using this function. The translation incurs a slight
overhead for each keyboard event and is therefore disabled
by default. For each subsequently received key down event,
the unicode member of the SDL_keysym structure will then
contain the corresponding character code, or zero for
keysyms that do not correspond to any character code.
A value of 1 for enable enables Unicode translation; 0
disables it, and -1 leaves it unchanged (useful for query-
ing the current translation mode).
Note that only key press events will be translated, not
release events.
RETURN VALUE
Returns the previous translation mode (0 or 1).
