button mapping

i am working on some button mapping functions

does GetChar() actualy return the KeyCode number or the ascii number?

I use GetChar(), I'm 99% sure it returns the ascii, hence as in get 'char' (character).
So nope, doubt you can use it properly to map buttons too.

You won't use the KeyCode normally anyway. Reason is that if you map stuff like +- etc with keycode it will break on notebooks etc normally quite badly

then what should i use to button map the keyboard, because i know different countries have different lay out of buttons

Im currently using the waitkey() command, this obviously halts the program though so I am not too sure if i will keep it for the final release as it won't look all that great.
