What is the tilde(~) key code? (EKEY_CODE)

EKEY_CODE::KEY_??
Which is the tilde (~) code?

P.S
I've searched the forum but a KEY_XXX was not found.
I'm referring to the key left to the '1' key - above the tab.

First, that isn't the tilde key. It is the backquote key. You get a tilde if you press that key while holding shift, much like you get an @ when holding shift and pressing 2.

Second, can't you write a ten line event receiver to tell you the answer?

I found that event.KeyInput.Key's value when pressing '`' is 192..

192=0xC0, now because none of the enum values is 0xC0 does that mean that there isn't a EKEY_CODE for it?

Here is a problem

192 is not the write key code for some keyboards...so I strongly recomend DO NOT use this key...the key code is different in the different BRANDS sometimes.

So how can I use the '`' key if it has different ASCII code in different keyboards? (Which sounds weird by itself..)

There is a field in the KeyInput member of the SEvent structure that is the ASCII character code.
