FreeGlut - What do you developers think?
#7
And what about this? Could that help?

[Text]
glutKeyboardFunc sets a callback function void func(unsigned char key, int x, int y) to handle ASCII keystrokes in GLUT. When a key is pressed, it passes the character (key) and mouse coordinates (x, y). This handles letters, numbers, and symbols, but not special keys like F1 or arrow keys.

Key Details for glutKeyboardFunc:
Signature: void glutKeyboardFunc(void (*func)(unsigned char key, int x, int y)).
Usage: Used to detect key presses such as 'q' for quit or number keys for input.

Callback Parameters:
unsigned char key: The ASCII character of the pressed key.
int x, int y: Mouse position relative to the window when the key was pressed.

Limitations: Does not handle special keys (use glutSpecialFunc instead). Modifiers (Shift/Ctrl) can be checked with glutGetModifiers.
