Keyboard Layout

3

There are versions of the Apple USB keyboard with different key layouts for
three standards used in different parts of the world: ANSI (US and North
America), JIS (Japan), and ISO (Europe). Figure 3-2 shows the keyboard layout
for the ANSI keyboard. Applications can determine which keyboard is
connected by calling the Gestalt Manager and checking for the corresponding
value of the

gestaltKeyboardType

selector:

gestaltUSBCosmoANSIKbd

(value = 198)

gestaltUSBCosmoJISKbd

(value = 200)

gestaltUSBCosmoISOKbd

(value = 199)
