1 Note that some keys generate the same code, for example ‘Right Windows’ and shift + ‘Left Windows’ both generate Wimp key code &1D0. Unfortunately this is unavoidable due to the lack of spare key codes. It is therefore proposed that the use of Ctrl with the ‘Left Windows’, ‘Right Windows’ & ‘Menu’ keys be used for extra functions, but that Shift + ‘Left Windows’ and Shift + ‘Right Windows’ be avoided. Shift with the ’Menu may still be used however.
Notes
This is a list of character codes that the Wimp uses for different keys and key combinations.
