Keyboard input is scanned by a device driver and passed on to the Input Manager, just as mouse input is. The keyboard driver and Input Manager check the state of the modifier keys (Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Num Lock, etc.) and parse each keypress as much as possible based on its context. Each keypress is called a Keyboard event and is passed in MSG_META_KBD_CHAR .
