NAME
scancode_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
(mangling 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);
