Raw Key Code finder

[Aussie Bomber]

I am looking for a program that will display the raw key code of any
key I press (Not ASCII code!)

Have searched SOS and googled but no luck - but then I don't know
exactly what words to use in the search!! :-(

Any advice will be most welcome!!

As I understand it, a keypress is simply an electronic signal that is
interpretted by the OS and/or hardware.

What sort of code are you looking for if not ascii?

They come and go as they are a common exercise of novice programmers.
For Windows you may want to look here:

A good DOS program is available on this site:

(Scroll down to 'ScanCode Show' by Paul Postuma.)

Thanks, BeAr - that seems to be just what I was after!!

Looks like I should have been searching for "Scan Code" ;-)

Cheers .................

I am after the raw, or as I now see I should have called it, scan code
that the computer reads when a key is pressed regardless of any
qualifier keys that are also pressed.

For example, a = ASCII 97 scancode 30
A = ASCII 65 scancode 30
