I didn't mean to rain on your parade. I like your KeyCaps app and will
find it useful outside the XCode environment.
I only meant to show that within XCode there's another nice tool.
At first, I didn't notice that Fred posted this message on the list,
too. So here's my (initially private) response, for the sake of
completeness:
"Never mind. I wrote Key Codes a long time ago. And, BTW, if you're
hunting for, say, F11's key code, then the character palette wouldn't
be of much help, or would it?"
And Fred has already replied to this message of mine. He said: "good
point!!!" -- I hope it's OK to put that back on the list, Fred ;-)
Cheers,
Peter.

I want the key code for the apostrophe AKA single quote( ' ) key.
You can also use this little dev tool that I've written for my own
purposes. It will quit when you close its window.
I'm curious if the attached sit archive is small enough to make it
into the list. IIRC, there was a size limit, right?
Best regards,

It's already built into X-Code (1.5 anyway)
Main menu
Format -> Font -> Show Fonts will give you the Font palette. At the
lower left there's the little contextual menu item. Hold it down and
select Characters...
You can get the info on any character in the entire Unicode set. If
you select a character and hold the cursor over it you'll get a hint
with the Unicode Hex value (key code). For _'_ apostrophe, it's 27
(e.g. 39 decimal). you get the Unicode and UTF8 values.
It's worth exploring for all the CUTE stuff you can do, including
characters to put into buttons as "icons".
Of course you can "Insert" any character right into your XCode cursor
location. I just put a chinese ideograph character into a document
window's "stop" button for fun and games.
Fred
