#1539 No KP_Enter on Windows

[Benjamin Riefenstahl]

Original complaint on comp.lang.tcl:

Hi all :-)

can it be true that windoze does not distinguish between
<Return> and <KP_Enter> ?

Doing a bind . <Key> {puts %K}
I get
KP_Enter for enter and
Return for return
on Linux.

On win98se, the return key and the enter key both give
<Return> as result.

I browsed wiki but could not find anything related.

Any way to solve the puzzle?

Thanks 4 reading

My own response at the time:

[...] it seem that this a generic Windows feature.
There is only one code VK_RETURN which is the keycode
reported by Tk.

MSDN says that WM_KEYDOWN sends an "extended key"
flag in its LPARAM (bit 24) that signifies keypad keys for the
usual keyboards. This could probably be used to construct
alternate keycodes and keysyms. [...]
