keycode

Entry number sequence

A keycode is a numerical value assigned to a specific key on a keyboard, used by software to identify which key was pressed.

Different systems may assign different keycodes to the same physical key: The spacebar has keycode 32 in most systems.

Programmers use keycodes to handle keyboard input in applications and games.
