Please help me with ‘Names of Keys’

[WhiteHat]

The actual case was i wanted to assign [ALT]+[~] as MHS Hotkey. But as
i browse the Key ComboBox of MHS Hotkeys, i can’t found the [~] key.
Maybe it is named in other way in English / computer terms..

Next, i realized that i can’t recognized quite lot of them: Separator Key,
Attn Key, Applications Key, etc...

Also i can’t name these keys: [;], [:], ['], ["], and many more.

I would appreciate if any of you can give me good links or document about
this matter.. I’ve tried to google it, but i didn’t know which proper keyword
would give me good result...

Thank you very much in advance.

You can find the virtual keycode for any key using VkKeyScan(), which returns the VK_* value in the lower 8 bits and the shift state in the upper 8 bits.

VkKeyScan( '~' ) returns 0x01C0, which means VK_OEM_3 (as found in the help file) with the Shift key held.

; = VK_OEM_1 (semicolon).
: = VK_OEM_1 + Shift (colon).


VK_SEPARATOR is the Enter key on the number pad.
