Listing of keyboard scancodes.

Description

Here follows a list of hardware keyboard scancodes accepted by the MultiKey function. These are equal to DOS scancodes, and are guaranteed to be always recognized on all platforms.

These constants are also defined in the fbgfx.bi include file you can use in your programs. If you are using the lang fb dialect then everything inside fbgfx.bi is enclosed in the FB Namespace. To use these constants in lang fb, either prepend "FB." to the constant name, or put "Using FB" after the #include line.
The hexadecimal code is not required and provided only for reference.
