Hi All,
I have been doing symbian application for some time and have enjoyed and at
the same time grown more frustated as time passes.
I know this post would not enlighten anyone or solve anyones problem but I
would like to know what is the rationale behind naming key scan codes
enumerations.
Which application programmer in this world can dream that the scan code for
Left Soft Key (LSK) is EStdKeyDevice0?
Why is it not EStdKeyLsk?
And why can't the people at symbian add a new enum by this name even after 4
major OS releases?
--Mayur.

1. Symbian doesn't define UIs :-) We've defined enumerations for things like
keypad numerals, but the existance or otherwise of the UI specific keys is
up to them.
2. The platform makers want to retain flexibility in the UI. The button that
does "left soft key" things may not always be on the left. In some
phones it
may be a hard key. All that is definite is its the EStdKeyDevice0.

S60 #defines these keys in eikon.hrh. However only the key events are
defined, eg EKeyDevice0, not the scan codes, eg EStdKeyDevice0.
