Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi folks,

I can't test this for myself at the moment but am I correct in believing that KEYDOWN respects the value of OPTION USBKEYBOARD, e.g. the value it returns for the top-left letter key would be Q on a US/UK QWERTY keyboard, but A on a french AZERTY keyboard ?

Observations: If this is the case then the lack of the ability to return a USBKEYBOARD independent value is unfortunate when it comes to games internationalisation where it is the position of the keys that often matters and not what is printed on the key-caps.  

Best wishes,

Tom
