Contains key press information
DESCRIPTION
SDL_KeyboardEvent is a
member of the SDL_Event union
and is used when an event of type SDL_KEYDOWN or SDL_KEYUP is reported.
The type and
state actually report
the same information, they just use different values to do
it! A keyboard event occurs when a key is released
(type=SDK_KEYUP or state=SDL_RELEASED) and when a key is pressed
(type=SDL_KEYDOWN or state=SDL_PRESSED). The information on what key
was pressed or released is in the keysym structure.
Note Repeating
SDL_KEYDOWNevents will occur if key repeat is enabled (seeSDL_EnableKeyRepeat).
