The following is an exhaustive list of the RISC OS internal keycodes. The codes go
back to the BBC micro, and have remained compatible. Some keys (such as "Keypad ," and
"Shift Lock") no longer exist, so these keycodes are candidates for reassignment. No
such reassignments have yet taken place though.
Internal key codes should reference the physical position of keys, not the
labels. The definitions below are in terms of the standard UK PC layout
labels.
Note that the change in key arrangement from the BBC micro to the Archimedes
resulted in four keys merging with other keys (@, :, ^, _). For example, "@"
was a separate key on the BBC micro, but became Shift+2 on the Archimedes.
This means that the 2 key produces both the "2" code and the "@" code. This
is still true, even though "@" has maved on again. These keys are marked
{compatibility} with the key that produces that code. These codes are
secondary reassignment candidates.
Note that the RISC OS API treats codes 0-15 slightly differently, so be wary
of assigning keys 12-15.
