Description
|
There should be a way for Java programmer to obtain an unique identifier for a key pressed. Presently, we only have certain part of keys covered by VK_* java keycodes. Sometimes a KEY_PRESSED/KEY_RELEASED is completely useless, with all fields filled with zeroes.
A proper solution to this would be manifold involving addition of more keycodes and providing means to query a KeyEvent about (in some sense) raw keycodes. However all this would require API change and is possible only in a new release (jdk7 I presume).
There should be a way to make a partial fix suitable for an update release, without API change.

Evaluation

Idea is, to append a raw (in some sense) keycode to a string returned by java.awt.event.KeyEvent.paramString().
In case of MS Windows, it may be a virtual keycode, in case of X Window - 1-st keycode from a keycode vector.
User may query paramString() and obtain a substring tagged by "rawCode=" and containing a decimal keycode value.
