Window / String representation of a sf::Keyboard::Key

« on: June 19, 2013, 08:12:53 pm »

Is there a solution to computing the string representation of a sf::Keyboard::Key that doesn't involve a massive switch or if-else statement?

Ideally, I would like to avoid something like this:

const char *getKeyName(const sf::Keyboard::Key key) {
    switch(key) {
    case sf::Keyboard::Unknown:
        return "Unknown";
    case sf::Keyboard::A:
        return "A";
    case sf::Keyboard::B:
        return "B";
    case sf::Keyboard::C:
        return "C";
    // ... All the other keys.
}
