So why should we be able to distinguish CNTRL+I from the TAB key? The community has spoken. Let's change things back.
If it were possible, I can see it being useful. Some games might want to use TAB to switch between different views (Map Mode, FPS POV, etc) while reserving control+I for some kind of action shortcut (Invite Friend to Battle for example?).
Not saying that this necessarily be the default behaviour, but if we could have a toggle - like console:key_codes() ...
Since the value of TAB as a character is indistinguishable from CNTRL+I, I believe the intention was to give get_key() the ability to distinguish CNTRL+I with TAB keystrokes.
Have you actually tested this though? I no longer have Windoze and can't try it out myself, but based on the implementation I'd expect getting a Control+I with get_key() on that platform to return 1015936.
