Summary: SDL should have an event to notify about keyboard mapping changes

Description Drew Bliss 2015-09-01 20:55:41 UTC 
Currently SDL watches for keyboard / language changes on most platforms and updates mappings as necessary.  However it doesn't generate an event in that situation so there's no easy way for applications to refresh their own keyboard / language caches.
Comment 1 Philipp Wiesemann 2016-01-14 20:14:12 UTC 
There is an SDL_KEYMAPCHANGED event in SDL 2.0.4 which may be used in some situation. It is not implemented on all platforms.
Comment 2 Sam Lantinga 2017-08-12 23:17:44 UTC 
Drew, does this event cover what you need?
Comment 3 Sam Lantinga 2017-08-14 20:02:11 UTC 
The event was added after this bug report and resolved the bug for Drew.
