>What codes are generated by the various special keys, arrow keys, etc.
Nearly all of the keys are sending standard codes as defined in Chars.h,
and those codes have been there since forever, but just don't have any
standard ways of being input through Graffiti.
>How do the special buttons work, like New, Details, etc. What should we do
>to support them?
I believe they just look at the active form for buttons they think would be
appropriate. I imagine if they didn't find your button properly, that'd be
a bug in the driver... (or perhaps that you don't have such an object).
I'm pretty sure if you don't have a "New" button (as far as the driver can
tell) there wouldn't be any event sent to you.
>Can POSE use the computer to emulate the keyboard? How would the New,
>Done, Details keys be fired off in POSE? How about the Cmd?
You can already type in Pose, obviously, and when you hit the up-arrow
button it should send the same thing as the device-connected keyboards
would... chrUpArrow. Things like New and Done are implemented by the
keyboard driver, and thus wouldn't be active in Pose.
I don't think that the keyboard or its driver are a part of the Platform,
meaning there isn't special OS support, or SDK documentation for how they
work, etc. It is just an accessory for a product, not an OS feature.
