Thread: Ctrl+H event independent of keyboard layout

hi,
examining "keyval" field of gdkeventkey struct doesn't work cause works if user's using latin (english-like) keyboard layout.
so, ctrl+h works in "english us" mode fails "russian" keyboard layout.

since need catch ctrl+h event regardless of keyboard layout went "hardware_keycode" field of gdkeventkey struct
reports "43" "h" key on keyboard regardless of keyboard layout.

question is, there better approach? , "43" stand "h" key on every keyboard or mine (logitech)?

does "43" stand "h" key on every keyboard or mine (logitech)?

code:

$ grep -r '\<43;$' /usr/share/x11/xkb/keycodes /usr/share/x11/xkb/keycodes/sony:    <ad10> = 43; /usr/share/x11/xkb/keycodes/amiga:    <ac04> = 43; /usr/share/x11/xkb/keycodes/amiga:    <ac04> = 43; /usr/share/x11/xkb/keycodes/ibm:    <ac05> = 43; /usr/share/x11/xkb/keycodes/digital_vndr/pc:    <ac04>  = 43; /usr/share/x11/xkb/keycodes/sun:    <ae07> = 43; /usr/share/x11/xkb/keycodes/sun:    <ae07> = 43; /usr/share/x11/xkb/keycodes/sun:    <ae07> = 43; /usr/share/x11/xkb/keycodes/sun:    <ae07> = 43; /usr/share/x11/xkb/keycodes/sun:    <ae07> = 43; /usr/share/x11/xkb/keycodes/xfree98:    <ac07> =  43; /usr/share/x11/xkb/keycodes/evdev:      <ac06> = 43; /usr/share/x11/xkb/keycodes/hp:    <ab02> = 43; /usr/share/x11/xkb/keycodes/hp:    <fk11> = 43; /usr/share/x11/xkb/keycodes/fujitsu:    <ae06> = 43; /usr/share/x11/xkb/keycodes/sgi_vndr/indigo:    <ab05> = 43; /usr/share/x11/xkb/keycodes/sgi_vndr/indy:    <ac03> = 43; /usr/share/x11/xkb/keycodes/ataritt:    <ac06> =  43; /usr/share/x11/xkb/keycodes/xfree86:    <ac06> =  43; /usr/share/x11/xkb/keycodes/macintosh:    <ad10> = 43; $ grep -r '<ac06>[ \t]=[ \t]*43;$' /usr/share/x11/xkb/keycodes /usr/share/x11/xkb/keycodes/evdev:      <ac06> = 43; /usr/share/x11/xkb/keycodes/ataritt:    <ac06> =  43; /usr/share/x11/xkb/keycodes/xfree86:    <ac06> =  43;
