Keymappings

[danzeeeman]

I'm working with keymapping and noticed how much ofEvents needs help....

for instance we are mixing up a lot of things to get around the way GLUT did stuff and since we don't do GLUT can we have it closer to what GLFW does?

hey @danzeeeman could you provide a bit more info?

Examples of what is problematic, what is missing or broken etc.
It would help make this issue less vague. Thanks!

Well I guess if you look at what Arduino or Processing do in terms of keyCodes values. If you try to send key codes from openFrameworks to the Arduino Keyboard library you have to add a mapping layer and giant switch statement for all the special keys etc etc. I think the Arduino mapping and the GLFW mappings are the same so we should just use the GLFW key code values.

One of the reasons we have different mappings is to support international keyboards which glfw doesn't support for the normal pressed/release event (only for the char event) but as long as you only modify the special key mappings that should be fine I think.
