SDL API Reference                            SDL_EnableUNICODE(3)



NAME
     SDL_EnableUNICODE - Enable UNICODE translation

SYNOPSIS
     #include "SDL.h"

     int SDL_EnableUNICODE(int enable);

DESCRIPTION
     Enables/Disables Unicode keyboard translation.

     To obtain the character codes corresponding to received key-
     board  events,  Unicode  translation must first be turned on
     using this function. The translation incurs a  slight  over-
     head  for  each  keyboard event and is therefore disabled by
     default. For each subsequently received key down event,  the
     unicode member of the SDL_keysym structure will then contain
     the corresponding character code, or zero for  keysyms  that
     do not correspond to any character code.

     A value of 1 for enable enables Unicode translation; 0  dis-
     ables  it,  and  -1 leaves it unchanged (useful for querying
     the current translation mode).

     Note that only key press  events  will  be  translated,  not
     release events.

RETURN VALUE
     Returns the previous translation mode (0 or 1).
