So you're just looking at the scan codes then of the keys being pressed? if i press the q/Q key are you looking at a particular physical key key on the keyboard? i.e. ultimately at the scan codes or virtual key codes? or are you looking at a higher level? i.e. the q/Q key on a QWERTY keyboard is a different physical key than the q|Q key on a AZERTY keyboard. So are you using a positional approach using the virtual keys or scan codes of the physical keyboard, or are you interpreting the keystroke at a higher level so that key interpretation is mnemonic, i.e. does it matter which key is typed? or is it the q-key independent of the physical position of the q|Q key on the keyboard?
