- The Java Key code should keep modifiers for the dead key detection.
For other keys the Shift modifier usually is cleaned.
- Only extended Java key code keep information about dead keys.
Pass extended java key to postKeyEvent method as the key code argument.
- Assign unicode chars for the dead key symbols according to table:
http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeData.txt
This is done to be compatible with Windows and Mac OS X where there
are dead key chars in the key pressed and key released methods.
- The XKeysym.java file is generated from the UnicodeData.txt file and
keysym2ucs.h .
Some code that was only in the XKeysym.java file (like
XKeySymConstants.XK_Shift_Lock) is moved to keysym2ucs.h so to not miss
it after XKeysym.java regeneration.
Thanks,
Alexandr.
