Parsing a key from key code

Question

I get key events containing asci key codes, and I was wondering if there is an easy way to convert them to an actual key or a common lisp character. I am using a ccl implementation that does not include int-char (which might or might not work for this task).

Answer 1

You can use the code-char function . It will return a character encoded with the given integer. Keep in mind that CCL uses Unicode, not pure 7-bit ASCII.
