Android sends Delete event instead of Backspace
« on: October 22, 2017, 11:37:21 am »
SFML maps the AKEYCODE_DEL event to Keyboard::Delete (WindowImplAndroid.cpp#L623) while this is actually the backspace key. The real delete key is AKEYCODE_FORWARD_DEL.

Is this a bug or was there a reason to do this? I find it strange that I just worked around this in my code when I encountered it a few years ago. Maybe I saw this post back then and though that it would be fixed, but it looks like it was forgotten.

Feel free to open an issue, that way Mario won't forget it, once he gets around working on SFML... ::)
Also link to that forum post in the issue, maybe there's more to extract.
