I’ve just started working on a project that involves keypresses and character codes, and just skimming the surface of what it entails, I can tell this is going to be a headache to implement. From a cursory glance, it seems like a lot of this information is spread out all over the place, from OS to OS, to framework to framework.

I’m trying to use this post as a way to compile some of the more crucial information, mostly for myself, but I also thought others might find it useful as well.


Update 4/3/2019 – Added Mac Keycodes to master Google Sheet. Mac/OSX uses CGKeyCode provided through the macOS SDK.
