💅 remove_keyboard(3)

okay so bestie, we're in the Allegro manual today and this one is short but lowkey important. buckle up 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

remove_keyboard — Removes the Allegro keyboard handler. bye bye keyboard vibes 👋⌨️

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <allegro.h>

void remove_keyboard();

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So what does it do? It removes the keyboard handler, handing control right back to the operating system. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic minimalism 💅

ngl, you don't normally need to bother calling this, because allegro_exit() will do it for you. she's got your back, fr fr. 🫶

But — and this is the part that matters — you might want to call this during runtime if you want to change the keyboard mapping on those platforms where keyboard mappings are needed. the way that requires a lil two-step dance:

1. first you modify the configuration variable holding the keyboard mapping
2. then you reinstall the keyboard handler

no cap. here's the example straight from the source:

remove_keyboard();
/* Switch to Spanish keyboard mapping. */
set_config_string("system", "keyboard", "es");
install_keyboard();

see? out with the old handler, swap the config, back in with the new one. main character energy ✨
