Appendix C - Keyboard Resources / Key-Map Resource (Type 'KMAP')

Apple Extended Keyboard

With the Apple Extended Keyboard (and Apple Extended Keyboard II, shown in Figure C-2), the standard key-map resource that is supplied with the system converts the following raw key codes to virtual key codes, as listed in Table C-4.

Table C-4 Key-map resource assignment of raw key codes to virtual key codes

Key	Raw key code	Virtual key code
Control	$36	$3B
Left Arrow	$3B	$7B
Right Arrow	$3C	$7C
Down Arrow	$3D	$7D
Up Arrow	$3E	$7E

The standard key-map resource leaves all other virtual key codes identical to the raw key codes they are generated from.
