The new keyboard callback function.

Description
glutKeyboardFunc
sets the keyboard callback for the current window. When a user types into the
window, each key press generating an ASCII character will generate a keyboard callback. The key callback parameter is
the generated ASCII character. The state of modifier keys such as Shift cannot be determined directly; their only
effect will be on the returned ASCII data. The x and y callback parameters indicate the mouse location in window
relative coordinates when the key was pressed. When a new window is created, no keyboard callback is initially
registered, and ASCII key strokes in the window are ignored. Passing
NULL
to
glutKeyboardFunc
disables the generation of keyboard callbacks.
During a keyboard callback,
glutGetModifiers
may be called to determine the
state of modifier keys when the keystroke generating the callback occurred.
Use
glutSpecialFunc
for a means to detect non-ASCII key strokes.
