* "Caps Lock" and "Num Lock" can not be used as normal binds since they
do not send a KEYUP event until the key is pressed again.
* SDL > 1.2.9 does not support disabling "Dead Key" recognition.
In order to send "Dead Key" characters (e.g. ~, ', `, and ^), you
must key a Space (or sometimes the same character again) after the
character to send it on many international keyboard layouts.

* The SDL client supports many more keys than the original Quake3 client.
For example the keys: "Windows", "SysReq", "ScrollLock", and "Break".
For non-US keyboards, all of the so called "World" keys are now
supported as well as F13, F14, F15, and the country-specific
mode/meta keys.
For non-US keyboards, all of the so called "World" keys are now supported
as well as F13, F14, F15, and the country-specific mode/meta keys.
SDL's "Dead Key" behaviour makes the hard-coded toggleConsole binds ~ and `
annoying to use on many non-US keyboards. In response, an additional
toggleConsole bind has been added on the key combination Shift-Esc.
On many international layouts the default console toggle keys are also dead
keys, meaning that dropping the console potentially results in
unintentionally initiating the keying of a dead key. Futhermore SDL 1.2's
dead key support is broken by design and Q3 doesn't support non-ASCII text
entry, so the chances are you won't get the correct character anyway.
If you use such a keyboard layout, you can set the cvar cl_consoleKeys. This
is a space delimited list of key names that will toggle the console. The key
names are the usual Q3 names e.g. "BACKSPACE", "PAUSE", "WINDOWS" etc. It's
also possible to use ASCII characters, either by hexadecimal number e.g.
"0x7e" (equivalent to ~) or directly by character. Some example values for
cl_consoleKeys:
"0x7e 0x60" Toggle on ~ or ` (the default)
"WINDOWS" Toggle on the Windows key
"c" Toggle on the c character
"C" Toggle on the C character (Shift-c)
"PAUSE F1 PGUP" Toggle on the Pause, F1 or Page Up keys
Note that when you elect a set of console keys or characters, they cannot
then be used for binding, nor will they generate characters when entering
text. Also, in addition to the nominated console keys, Shift-ESC is hard
coded to always toggle the console.
