SDL_HINT_GRAB_KEYBOARD

A variable controlling whether grabbing input grabs the keyboard

Header File

Defined in SDL_hints.h

Syntax

#define SDL_HINT_GRAB_KEYBOARD              "SDL_GRAB_KEYBOARD"

Remarks

This variable can be set to the following values:

• "0": Grab will affect only the mouse
• "1": Grab will affect mouse and keyboard

By default SDL will not grab the keyboard so system shortcuts still work.
