{ The structure of a TKeyEvent follows in LSB-MSB order:
  2 bytes: depending on flags either the physical representation of a key
           (under DOS scancode, ascii code pair), or the translated
           ASCII/unicode character
  1 byte:  shift-state when this key was pressed (or shortly after)
  1 byte:  flags, the following flags are defined:
           bit0-1
                   0: the lowest two bytes is the translated ASCII value
                   1: the lowest two bytes is the translated Unicode value
                      (wide-char)
                   2: the lowest two bytes is a function key, and the lowest
                      two bytes contains its platform independent code
                   3: the lowest two bytes is the physical representation
           bit2
                   0: the key is pressed
                   1: the key is released (This event is not guaranteed to occur on all platforms)
           bit3-7  undefined, should be 0


  If there are two keys returning the same char-code, there's no way to find
  out which one was pressed (Gray+ and Simple+). If you need to know which
  was pressed, you'll need to use the untranslated keycodes, which is system
  dependent. System dependent constants may be defined to cover those, with
  possibily having the same name (but different value). }
