Description
Ultibo Keyboard Interface unit
Keyboard Devices
This unit provides the Keyboard device interface and keyboard API to be used by both drivers and applications.
The API includes functions to create, register, locate, read, write, control and configure each connected keyboard device.
The API supports a global keyboard buffer so multiple devices can feed data into a common buffer as well as a buffer per device to allow each device to be used for a specific purpose. For example an application with two separate displays may choose to have a keyboard device to control each one individually.
