Fields

Down 1

The key is pressed down.
Locked 2

The key is in a toggled or modified state (for example, Caps Lock).

Note

All keys support the Locked state (not just the standard Caps Lock and Num Lock keys).
None 0

The key is up or in no specific state.

Remarks

The keyboard device driver receives scan codes from the keyboard and interprets and translates (maps) them into virtual-key codes (device-independent values defined by the system to identify the purpose of a key).
