AW: Is there a mapping table for all rawKeyUp Codes? No solution yet with LC 8

[hh]

The '58-example' is obviously a script error:
the message box has always display bugs, you may better use a field
for the display.

If I understand right, then you want now
the keyCode (an event, depending on _hardware_)
and NOT
the characterCode (a number representation of the char).
Some Mac apps show, with an abuse of the name, the characterCode and
not the hardware keycode.

On a german keyboard from Apple the keycodes are
on MacOS 10.12.1/LC 9.0.0-dp2 (65505=shift)

ö = 59
Ö = 59,65505
. = 46
: = 46,65505

This is not contradicting your results if your hardware is different.

You could think about using ___the keysdown___, for example this works
for me, using a locked field 1 and the following card script (just to
see the difference):

on idle ; put the keysDown into fld 1 ; end idle

p.s. For the LC table (Mark's link) you could use:
     put baseConvert(hexValue,16,10) into decValue

> Since the keyup handler is broken, I am still trying to build a table for mapping the rawkeyup key to a char. When testing a prototype it seemed to be easy, but now there are some pitfalls I don't get over. On Mac OS X 10.11, German system, German keyboard I get with some different char the same keyname.
