SDL_Event.key and kdevice does not return expected IDs? about sdl HOT 12 CLOSED

What is the output if you set the environment variable SDL_EVENT_LOGGING=1?

from sdl.

I disconnected and connected it four times just to check, and the IDs match in both SDL_EVENT_KEYBOARD_ADDED/REMOVED:

With the other keyboard, somehow SDL_EVENT_MOUSE_REMOVED/ADDED is also being sent??? (I connected and disconnected the keyboard once in this case)

from sdl.

Pressing random keys in both keyboards outputs this:

The timestamps in the first screenshot are weird, and in the last screenshot, the windowid starts at 2, but it should start at 1, right?

creating another window increments the ID counter correctly to 3

You can't assume anything about object IDs, other than they'll be non-zero.

I clarified the documentation to reduce confusion, thanks for pointing this out!

FYI, the keyboard ID for key events will only be set when raw input is enabled on Windows.

so key.which is only set on Windows? what about other platforms?

It depends on the platform. It's not currently defined when it's available, you should experiment and see what works for you.

I think SDL_WindowID and SDL_DisplayID should have documentation too, just for consistency.

Done!

That's a shame, I saw somewhere that multiple keyboard support was added, but it didn't mentioned it was platform dependant xd. Maybe it should be specified in SDL_KeyboardEvent?
