💖 NAME 💖

adime_scancode_to_short_name — the lil bestie that turns a keyboard scancode into its short lil name ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <adime.h>

char *adime_scancode_to_short_name(int scancode, char *buf)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so. you have a scancode, right? like, the raw number a keyboard sends when you press a key 👀 and you want the name of that key but make it short. that's literally this function, no cap.

it converts a keyboard scancode into a string 🦋 and here's the cute part — the string it gives you is exactly the text that comes after KEY_´ in the macro name for that key. so if you feed it KEY_DELETE, it hands you back "DELETE"`. it's giving "just the vibe, none of the prefix" 💅

and what does it return? bestie it returns the buffer 🫶 OR — if the scancode didn't match any known key — it returns NULL. so yeah, always vibe check your return value, okay? 😭
