I mean, to me, even something as ubiquitous as a keystroke appearing on a screen as a character - is extremely fascinating but shrouded in mystery. What are the different steps in that flow of information? What are all the physical components involved? How exactly does a code - at the very very basic level - turn into action? So much to learn, so little bandwidth! Much complicated.Each key is a unique code. My simplified version is the inputs (unique code) we send through keyboard are converted to character code set. Every time you connect a keyboard the operating system tries to identify to map to a particular character code set. OS communicates with device drivers for communicating with devices. The device drivers communicate through buses with devices. Device drivers have bunch routines/programs to communicate with devices.
