FWD » Core Development » User Interface

When the user presses a key with the Ctrl modifier, an event is triggered. Each event has an integer key and a text label.

There are the following discrepancies in key and label generation between OE and FWD:

1. Digit keys.
   In OE: The event label is CTRL-X, where X is the digit (e.g., CTRL-5 for 5), and the event key is 2096 plus the digit (e.g., 2096 for 0, 2097 for 1, and 2105 for 9).
   In FWD: The event label is X, where X is the digit (e.g., 5 for 5), and the event key is 48 plus the digit (e.g., 48 for 0, 49 for 1, and 57 for 9). This means the Ctrl modifier is ignored for digits. The exceptions are: # For key 2, the label is CTRL-, and the key is 0. # For key 6, the label is CTRL-^, and the key is 30.
2. Ctrl-- (Ctrl-minus):
   In OE: CTRL-_, 2237
   In FWD: CTRL-_, 31
3. Ctrl-=:
   In OE: CTRL-+, 2235
   In FWD: =, 61 (Ctrl ignored)
4. Ctrl-[:
   In OE: ESC, 27
   In FWD: CTRL-ESC, 2075
5. Ctrl-}:
   In OE: CTRL-}, 29
   In FWD: CTRL-ESC, 2075
6. Ctrl-ENTER:
   In OE: CTRL-J, 10
   In FWD: CTRL-ENTER, 2061
7. Ctrl-':
   In OE: CTRL-', 2270
   In FWD: ', 39 (Ctrl ignored)
8. Ctrl-/:
   In OE: CTRL-/, 2239
   In FWD: /, 47 (Ctrl ignored)
9. Ctrl-,:
   In OE: CTRL-,, 2236
   In FWD: ,, 44 (Ctrl ignored)
