KeyCode

A physical key, named after its position on a US keyboard. Key codes do not change with the keyboard layout, so KeyCode.W, KeyCode.A, KeyCode.S and KeyCode.D are the same four keys on QWERTY, AZERTY and Dvorak keyboards. Use KeyEvent.key when you need the character the active layout prints for a key, and WindowEvent.Text for typed text.
