Apple keyboard scancode question, Cmd, F13

[xahlee]

i always had this question.

does Apple keyboard's Cmd key actually send a different scancode than PC's Win key?

similar question for the F13, F14, F15, vs the Print Screen, Scroll lock, pause/break.

thanks.

The Command keys are identical to the Windows keys (and the Meta keys on Sun keyboards); collectively they are the USB "GUI" keys.

For F13 – F15, Apple keyboards send the USB codes for F13 – F15. USB has assigned codes up to F24, so any keyboard with those labels should send those codes.

For more details including the specific codes, see HID Usage Tables available at http://www.usb.org/developers/hidpage#HID_Usage.

Or for Windows specifically check the Windows Virtual Keycodes
