[PD] key_49, aka "\"

[Leo Famulari]

hello!

i am trying to turn my computer keyboard into a midi keyboard for  
sequencing, and i'm curious about the HID readout for key_49, which  
on my ibook g4 is the "|" and "\" key. i have [hid] printing to the  
console, and when i press key_49, i get this readout:

\\: dropped
print: key key_-1 49
print: key key_1 0
print: key key_49 1
print: key key_-1 0
\\: dropped
print: key key_-1 0
print: key key_1 0
print: key key_49 0
print: key key_-1 0

what is the meaning of the "\\: dropped" message? will it impede my  
using that key as a note on the keyboard?

thanks, leo
