Title: Keyboard: Add Circumflex support
Post by: Robert42 on September 15, 2011, 10:32:28 am

A pretty small feature request:

Add a Circumflex Key-Code. Thats a quite common key used in Games to open a developer Terminal.

greetings, Robert

I've never seen ANY in-game action bound to that key, did you mean the tilde(~) key(the key to the left of 1)? Which already has a keycode(at least in SFML2).

On my keyboard, Circunflex ("^") is the same key as Tilde ("~"). It is Shift plus Tilde.
It may be different on other keyboards though.

My "^" is above 6, so its Shift+6 to type it. Tilde is sharing a key with "`". Though I still have to Shift to type the tilde symbol.

Looking through the keyboard class, their isn't a key-code for any of the symbols above the number keys[!@#$%^&*()].

Their was talk of a overhaul for the keyboard system for 2.x somewhere, we may have to wait until then to get access to those keys.
