i have done some investigation.
its key 93.. which according to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
.NET 2003\Vc7\PlatformSDK\Include\WinUser.h line 427, is the windows
virtual key VK_APPS
not having a clue about what this key is, i asked google..
one page i found, although not directly linking them, but showing an image
of the windows menu key (that key below your right hand, between the alt
and control) implied it had something to do with context menus.
MSDN refers to VK_APPS as the "Applications key (Natural keyboard)"
however, im not sure if any of that is relevant, as
/include/allegro/keyboard.h says key 93 is
#define KEY_PAUSE 93
which 93 are we talking about ?
anyhow, i have also found something.
in allegro 4.1.15 in /src/win/wkeybd.c line 140-ish there is some code
for PAUSE key
in the older 4.1.14 same file, line 140 there is no PAUSE key code.
the problem was introduced in 4.1.15
the change log for 4.1.15 says
"Eric Botcazou made KEY_PAUSE work properly in windows."
