Re: UTF-8 keyboard mode

[Frank da Cruz <fdc@watsun.cc.columbia.edu>]

So then if I put the keyboard in (say) keycode mode so I can see which keys
are pressed, I can't also get the Unicode values?  Shouldn't there be a way
to get both?  Otherwise an application that needs to see keycodes must also
duplicate all of the Unicode conversions that are in the keyboard driver,
and then of course the application becomes needlessly bulky and also is in
danger of getting out of sync with the keyboard driver.
