STRUCTURE DEFINITION

       typedef struct{
         Uint8 type;
         Uint8 state;
         SDL_keysym keysym;
       } SDL_KeyboardEvent;

STRUCTURE DATA

       type                SDL_KEYDOWN or SDL_KEYUP

       state               SDL_PRESSED or SDL_RELEASED

       keysym              Contains key press information

DESCRIPTION

       SDL_KeyboardEvent  is  a member of the SDL_Event union and is used when
       an event of type SDL_KEYDOWN or SDL_KEYUP is reported.

       The type and state actually report the same information, they just  use
       different  values  to  do  it!  A  keyboard  event occurs when a key is
       released (type=SDK_KEYUP or  state=SDL_RELEASED)  and  when  a  key  is
       pressed  (type=SDL_KEYDOWN  or  state=SDL_PRESSED).  The information on
       what key was pressed or released is in the keysym structure.

              Note:

              Repeating SDL_KEYDOWN events will occur if key repeat is enabled
              (see SDL_EnableKeyRepeat).
