The new special callback function.

Description
glutSpecialFunc
sets the special keyboard callback for the current window. The special keyboard
callback is triggered when keyboard function or directional keys are pressed. The
key
callback
parameter is a
GLUT_KEY_
* constant for the special key pressed. The
x
and
y
callback parameters indicate the mouse in window relative coordinates when the key was
pressed. When a new window is created, no special callback is initially registered and special key strokes in the
window are ignored. Passing
NULL
to
glutSpecialFunc
disables the generation
of special callbacks.
During a special callback,
glutGetModifiers
may be called to determine the
state of modifier keys when the keystroke generating the callback occurred.
An implementation should do its best to provide ways to generate all the
GLUT_KEY_
* special keys.
The available
GLUT_KEY_
* values are:
- GLUT_KEY_F1
-
F1 function key.
- GLUT_KEY_F2
-
F2 function key.
- GLUT_KEY_F3
-
F3 function key.

- GLUT_KEY_F6
-
F6 function key.
- GLUT_KEY_F7
-
F7 function key.
- GLUT_KEY_F8
-

- GLUT_KEY_F9
-

- GLUT_KEY_F10
-
F10 function key.
- GLUT_KEY_F11
-
F11 function key.
- GLUT_KEY_F12

F12 function key.
- GLUT_KEY_LEFT
-
Left directional key.
- GLUT_KEY_UP
-
