I want the key code for the apostrophe AKA single quote( ' ) key.
There isn't one. Key codes correspond to the physical location of
keys on your keybard. Since keyboards have slightly different
arrangements for different languages (so touch-typists can more
easily reach more common characters, and so language-specific chars
like accents and umlauts are available without having to
control-shift-alt-u or whatever), key codes will differ from computer
to computer.
Also, character code -> key code is not a one-to-one mapping. E.g.
if you want a "5"'s key code, how is the computer supposed to know
whether to send the key code for the five above the characters, or
for the one on the number pad?
