Description ischmidt 2006-08-13 11:28:13 UTC 
As per the summary, pressing F13/F14/F15/F16 does not generate an SDL_KEYDOWN event using SDL 1.2.11 on OS X 10.4.7 (both PPC and Intel were tested).  This is with the standard Apple white USB keyboard they ship with everything for the last 2 years or so.

If you use DevCpp, F12 is used by this EDI in debug mode...
Comment 2 Ryan C. Gordon 2007-02-14 05:28:26 UTC 
We currently have these set up as PrintScreen, ScrollLock, and Pause...as they would be on a PC's USB keyboard.

I guess we should err on the side of the standard Apple keyboard here, since the USB ones they ship have F13-15 and the laptops don't have either the extra function keys or the PC keys in question...I wonder if there's a better way to handle this internally, though. For now, the Mac port will use F13 through F15.

I don't have a keyboard with F16 (including what I think is the one that shipped with my Intel iMac), so if that wasn't a typo, you're out of luck on that key for now.

Fixed in svn revision #2976 for the 1.2 branch and #2977 for the 1.3 branch.
