SDL_KeyboardDeviceEvent(3type)

💖 SDL_KeyboardDeviceEvent 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL3 DATATYPES corner of the group chat 🫶 this one is SDL_KeyboardDeviceEvent — the keyboard device event structure, aka the event.kdevice.* situation ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

SDL_KeyboardDeviceEvent — Keyboard device event structure (event.kdevice.*) ⌨️💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, first you gotta pull in the header, no cap:

#include <SDL3/SDL_events.h>

then here's the whole struct, character for character, because we do not mess with the facts:

typedef struct SDL_KeyboardDeviceEvent
{
    SDL_EventType type; /**< SDL_EVENT_KEYBOARD_ADDED or SDL_EVENT_KEYBOARD_REMOVED */
    Uint32 reserved;
    Uint64 timestamp;   /**< In nanoseconds, populated using SDL_GetTicksNS() */
    SDL_KeyboardID which;   /**< The keyboard instance id */
} SDL_KeyboardDeviceEvent;

the way that type is literally SDL_EVENT_KEYBOARD_ADDED or SDL_EVENT_KEYBOARD_REMOVED?? iconic 🎀

and timestamp is in nanoseconds, populated using SDL_GetTicksNS() — slay ⏱️

and which is the keyboard instance id, iykyk 🔑

🦋 AVAILABILITY 🦋

this struct is available since SDL 3.2.0 — so if you're on anything older, bestie, it's giving not found 😭

---

lowkey a whole vibe, highkey just a struct. but it's our struct now 💜
