depending on what you're doing, asciitable.com might be able to help you

also RBIL might help... if you are doing it in DOS... (Ralph Brown's Interrupt List)...

A bit of an important note:

"key codes" are NOT ASCII codes. Key Codes are codes generated by the hardware to differentiate every single key on the keyboard, including the modifiers (Shift, Control, Alt, etc.).

Both the Left Shift Key and the Right Shift Key will have different Key Codes.

Sayeh, yes, but if you actually go there you'll notice that it has information on key codes.

EDIT: not sure why it's puttting a frowning face...
