keyboard is weird

[ofZach]

there's some work to be done to get backspace / enter / tab etc all working. ascii / letter keys seem ok

[smallfly]

for me the keys '3' and '5' do not work and the '0' seems to be interpreted as a space.

Did you see any good resources showing who to handle keyboard events?

I have again looked at both ofxCEFClient and CEF3SimpleSample (and Googled it) but did not find a way to make all the keys work properly. ofxCEFClient does it same way, and it does not work better. And to be honest I did not find where this is done in CEF3SimpleSample.

in cef3simpleSample it's hooked directly into the window, so it's getting window events directly. it looks like we need to do some sort of translation? http://www.magpcss.org/ceforum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=11565&p=20601&hilit=keyboard#p20601

I will check this.

In the mean time I got all the numbers, delete (both direction), space bar to work correctly. To do this I used the OF keyPressed and keyReleased events, to have access to a ofKeyEventArgs and the 'scancode'. Then I did this:

CefKeyEvent event;
event.native_key_code = e.scancode;
event.character = (char)e.key;
event.type = KEYEVENT_CHAR;
browser->GetHost()->SendKeyEvent(event);

I did this after looking at the values in the ofKeyEventArgs and at that table showing the keycodes.

All this has been pushed to the Develop branch: https://github.com/ofZach/cefWork/tree/develop

Some special keys may need more work. But maybe we could close that issue and open new issues for specific keys later on. Is that OK with you?
