Description norfanin 2012-12-19 13:19:53 UTC 
On Windows, the dollar key on the swiss keyboard layouts generate a virtual-key code that gets mapped to SDL_SCANCODE_UNKNOWN and discarded. SDL doesn't push SDL_KEYDOWN and SDL_KEYUP events for this key.

The generated virtual-key code is 223 (0xdf) and the scan code 43 (0x2b).
