NAME
     SDL_KeyboardEvent - Keyboard event structure

STRUCTURE DEFINITION
     typedef struct{
       Uint8 type;
       Uint8 state;
       SDL_keysym keysym;
     } SDL_KeyboardEvent;

STRUCTURE DATA
     type                SDL_KEYDOWN or SDL_KEYUP

     state               SDL_PRESSED or SDL_RELEASED

     keysym              Contains key press information

DESCRIPTION
     SDL_KeyboardEvent is a member of the SDL_Event union and  is
     used  when  an  event  of  type  SDL_KEYDOWN or SDL_KEYUP is
     reported.

     The type and state actually  report  the  same  information,
     they  just  use  different values to do it! A keyboard event
     occurs  when  a   key   is   released   (type=SDK_KEYUP   or
     state=SDL_RELEASED)    and    when    a   key   is   pressed
     (type=SDL_KEYDOWN or state=SDL_PRESSED). The information  on
     what key was pressed or released is in the keysym structure.

          Note:

          Repeating SDL_KEYDOWN events will occur if  key  repeat
          is enabled (see SDL_EnableKeyRepeat).
