Hi All,

If crossplatform uniformness is not your piece of cake then please don't read this mail.
But for those who really need to process keyboard input here are some more keyboard anomalies to check.


All values are from a rawkeydown handler.
- the key straight under the escape key (qwerty `/ ~ or §/± or something else depending on which qwerty you use) will give a 0 value on mac os x
when an american qwerty keyboard layout is chosen but not with another keyboard layout.
- help key on mac os x gives value 268762986 instead of 65379 (win vpc)
- the numlock key on mac osx x enters a char in the field when focused and editable: numtochar(27)
- the values of the numeric keyboard on mac differ from these of win !!!
On mac os x the value without numLock is the same as with numLock, not on win vpc.
On win vpc side there are also some anomalies (see below).


### numerical keyboard

 65429  ### 7 mac os x
 65463  ### 7 - numlock win vpc
 65360  ### 7 + numlock win vpc

 65430  ### 4 mac os x
 65460  ### 4 - numlock win vpc
 65361  ### 4 + numlock win vpc

 65431  ### 8 mac os x
 65464  ### 8 - numlock win vpc
 65362  ### 8 + numlock win vpc

 65432  ### 6 mac os x
 65462  ### 6 - numlock win vpc
 65363  ### 6 + numlock win vpc

 65433  ### 2 mac os x
 65458  ### 2 - numlock win vpc
 65364  ### 2 + numlock win vpc

 65434  ### 9 mac os x
 65465  ### 9 - numlock win vpc
 65365  ### 9 + numlock win vpc

 65435  ### 3 mac os x
 65459  ### 3 - numlock win vpc
 65366  ### 3 + numlock win vpc

 65436  ### 1 mac os x
 65457  ### 1 - numlock win vpc
 65367  ### 1 + numlock win vpc

 65437  ### 5 mac os x
 65461  ### 5 - numlock win vpc
 65461  ### 5 + numlock win  vpc !!! no change


65438 ### 0 mac os x 65456 ### 0 - numlock win 65379 ### 0 + numlock win

 65439  ### . mac os x
 65454  ### . - numlock win
 65535  ### . + numlock win  !!! value of deletekey on mac !!!

 65493  ### = mac os x
        61  ### = win vpc  the chartonum value

 other keys of the  numerical keyboard are the same

These are tests on a apple usb keyboard. May be there will also be differences on laptop keyboards.
If someone can test and confirm the above then this can be bugzilla'ed.


TIA
Greetings,
Wouter
