Keyboard scan codes
This page provides an introduction to keyboard scan codes and explains how escaped scan codes work.
Windows 2000 and Windows XP include a new Scan Code Mapper, which provides a method that allows for mapping of keyboard scan codes without having to go through the “tedious process” of writing a kernel-level filter driver that can sometimes lead to severe problems if errors exist in the driver.
