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.
