+In this lesson we would create a driver that would register callbacks for hot key combinations.
+
+In UEFI in is possible to do with a help of `RegisterKeyNotify` function in `EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_INPUT_EX_PROTOCOL`:
+```
+EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_INPUT_EX_PROTOCOL.RegisterKeyNotify()
+
+Summary:
+Register a notification function for a particular keystroke for the input device.
+
+Prototype:
+typedef
+EFI_STATUS
+(EFIAPI *EFI_REGISTER_KEYSTROKE_NOTIFY) (
+ IN EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_INPUT_EX_PROTOCOL *This,
+ IN EFI_KEY_DATA *KeyData,
+ IN EFI_KEY_NOTIFY_FUNCTION KeyNotificationFunction,
+ OUT VOID **NotifyHandle
+ );
+
+Parameters:
+This A pointer to the EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_INPUT_EX_PROTOCOL instance.
+KeyData A pointer to a buffer that is filled in with the keystroke information
+ for the key that was pressed. If KeyData.Key, KeyData.KeyState.KeyToggleState and
+ KeyData.KeyState.KeyShiftState are 0, then any incomplete keystroke will trigger a
+ notification of the KeyNotificationFunction.
+KeyNotificationFunction Points to the function to be called when the key sequence is typed
+ specified by KeyData.
+NotifyHandle Points to the unique handle assigned to the registered notification.
+
+Description:
+The RegisterKeystrokeNotify() function registers a function which will be called when a specified
+keystroke will occur. The keystroke being specified can be for any combination of KeyData.Key or
+KeyData.KeyState information.
+```
+
+The prototype for the callback function defined as:
+```
+typedef
+EFI_STATUS
+(EFIAPI *EFI_KEY_NOTIFY_FUNCTION) (
+ IN EFI_KEY_DATA *KeyData
+ );
+```
+
+As for `EFI_KEY_DATA` it is a structure with two fields:
+```
+typedef struct {
+ EFI_INPUT_KEY Key; // The EFI scan code and Unicode value returned from the input device.
+ EFI_KEY_STATE KeyState; // The current state of various toggled attributes as well as input modifier values.
+} EFI_KEY_DATA
+```
+
+The `EFI_INPUT_KEY` type is defined in the file https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdePkg/Include/Protocol/SimpleTextIn.h:
+```
+typedef struct {
+ UINT16 ScanCode;
+ CHAR16 UnicodeChar;
+} EFI_INPUT_KEY;
+```
+We've already used it in our `InteractiveApp` application.
+
+`EFI_KEY_STATE` type is new, you can find in the https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdePkg/Include/Protocol/SimpleTextInEx.h:
+```
+///
+/// EFI_KEY_TOGGLE_STATE. The toggle states are defined.
+/// They are: EFI_TOGGLE_STATE_VALID, EFI_SCROLL_LOCK_ACTIVE
+/// EFI_NUM_LOCK_ACTIVE, EFI_CAPS_LOCK_ACTIVE
+///
+typedef UINT8 EFI_KEY_TOGGLE_STATE;
+
+typedef struct _EFI_KEY_STATE {
+ ///
+ /// Reflects the currently pressed shift
+ /// modifiers for the input device. The
+ /// returned value is valid only if the high
+ /// order bit has been set.
+ ///
+ UINT32 KeyShiftState;
+ ///
+ /// Reflects the current internal state of
+ /// various toggled attributes. The returned
+ /// value is valid only if the high order
+ /// bit has been set.
+ ///
+ EFI_KEY_TOGGLE_STATE KeyToggleState;
+} EFI_KEY_STATE;
+```
+
+To get an understanding of what information is coded in these `KeyShiftState`/`KeyToggleState` fields take a look at these defines from the same file:
+```
+//
+// Any Shift or Toggle State that is valid should have
+// high order bit set.
+//
+// Shift state
+//
+#define EFI_SHIFT_STATE_VALID 0x80000000
+#define EFI_RIGHT_SHIFT_PRESSED 0x00000001
+#define EFI_LEFT_SHIFT_PRESSED 0x00000002
+#define EFI_RIGHT_CONTROL_PRESSED 0x00000004
+#define EFI_LEFT_CONTROL_PRESSED 0x00000008
+#define EFI_RIGHT_ALT_PRESSED 0x00000010
+#define EFI_LEFT_ALT_PRESSED 0x00000020
+#define EFI_RIGHT_LOGO_PRESSED 0x00000040
+#define EFI_LEFT_LOGO_PRESSED 0x00000080
+#define EFI_MENU_KEY_PRESSED 0x00000100
+#define EFI_SYS_REQ_PRESSED 0x00000200
+
+//
+// Toggle state
+//
+#define EFI_TOGGLE_STATE_VALID 0x80
+#define EFI_KEY_STATE_EXPOSED 0x40
+#define EFI_SCROLL_LOCK_ACTIVE 0x01
+#define EFI_NUM_LOCK_ACTIVE 0x02
+#define EFI_CAPS_LOCK_ACTIVE 0x04
+```
+
+Also these edk2 files (https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdePkg/Include/Protocol/SimpleTextIn.h and https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdePkg/Include/Protocol/SimpleTextInEx.h) contain defines for the scan codes (up, down, right, left keys, home, end, delete, f1-f24, etc.). So if you'll ever what to use scan code for some exotic button, take a look in those files.
+
+Finally it is time to write code for our driver.
+
+Our driver would be called `HotKeyDriver`. It would register hot key combinations in its entry point function and unregister them in the unload function.
+
+UefiLessonsPkg/HotKeyDriver/HotKeyDriver.inf:
+```
+[Defines]
+ INF_VERSION = 1.25
+ BASE_NAME = HotKeyDriver
+ FILE_GUID = da316635-c66f-477e-9df6-880d2d729f1b
+ MODULE_TYPE = UEFI_DRIVER
+ VERSION_STRING = 1.0
+ ENTRY_POINT = HotKeyDriverEntryPoint
+ UNLOAD_IMAGE = HotKeyDriverUnload
+
+[Sources]
+ HotKeyDriver.c
+
+[Packages]
+ MdePkg/MdePkg.dec
+
+[Protocols]
+ gEfiSimpleTextInputExProtocolGuid # <----- guid for EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_INPUT_EX_PROTOCOL
+
+[LibraryClasses]
+ UefiDriverEntryPoint
+ UefiLib
+```
+
+First in our driver entry point function we need to locate `EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_INPUT_EX_PROTOCOL` by its guid `gEfiSimpleTextInputExProtocolGuid` (UefiLessonsPkg/HotKeyDriver/HotKeyDriver.c):
+```
+#include <Protocol/SimpleTextInEx.h>
+
+EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_INPUT_EX_PROTOCOL* InputEx = NULL;
+
+EFI_STATUS
+EFIAPI
+HotKeyDriverEntryPoint(
+ IN EFI_HANDLE ImageHandle,
+ IN EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE *SystemTable
+ )
+{
+ EFI_STATUS Status = gBS->LocateProtocol(
+ &gEfiSimpleTextInputExProtocolGuid,
+ NULL,
+ (VOID**)&InputEx
+ );
+ if (EFI_ERROR(Status)) {
+ Print(L"Error! Can't locate EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_INPUT_EX_PROTOCOL: %r", Status);
+ return Status;
+ }
+
+ ...
+
+ return EFI_SUCCESS;
+}
+```
+
+As we would need `EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_INPUT_EX_PROTOCOL` in the unload function as well, we declare variable for it as global.
+
+Now it is time to use `RegisterKeyNotify` API. Let's create a callback that would be fired at `left ctrl + left alt + z` combination:
+```
+ EFI_KEY_DATA HotKey;
+ HotKey.Key.ScanCode = 0;
+ HotKey.Key.UnicodeChar = L'z';
+ HotKey.KeyState.KeyShiftState = EFI_LEFT_CONTROL_PRESSED | EFI_LEFT_ALT_PRESSED | EFI_SHIFT_STATE_VALID;
+ HotKey.KeyState.KeyToggleState = 0;
+
+ Status = InputEx->RegisterKeyNotify(InputEx,
+ &HotKey,
+ MyKeyNotificationFunction,
+ (VOID**)&NotifyHandle);
+
+ if (EFI_ERROR(Status)) {
+ Print(L"Error! Can't perform RegisterKeyNotify: %r", Status);
+ return Status;
+ }
+```
+
+In the begining of our file we add a global variable for `NotifyHandle` (again, we need it global as it would be used in driver unload function) and define our `MyKeyNotificationFunction` callback function:
+```
+EFI_HANDLE NotifyHandle;
+
+EFI_STATUS EFIAPI MyKeyNotificationFunction(EFI_KEY_DATA* KeyData)
+{
+ Print(L"\nHot Key 1 is pressed\n"); // we add '\n' in the begining, so the output wouldn't interfere with the UEFI shell prompt
+ return EFI_SUCCESS;
+}
+```
+
+Let's write another callback that would be fired on any `z` press if numlock is active:
+```
+ HotKey.KeyState.KeyShiftState = 0;
+ HotKey.KeyState.KeyToggleState = EFI_TOGGLE_STATE_VALID | EFI_NUM_LOCK_ACTIVE | EFI_KEY_STATE_EXPOSED;
+ Status = InputEx->RegisterKeyNotify(InputEx,
+ &HotKey,
+ MyKeyNotificationFunction1,
+ (VOID**)&NotifyHandle1);
+
+ if (EFI_ERROR(Status)) {
+ Print(L"Error! Can't perform RegisterKeyNotify: %r", Status);
+ return Status;
+ }
+```
+```
+EFI_HANDLE NotifyHandle1;
+
+EFI_STATUS EFIAPI MyKeyNotificationFunction1(EFI_KEY_DATA* KeyData)
+{
+ Print(L"\nHot Key 2 is pressed\n"); // we add '\n' in the begining, so the output wouldn't interfere with the UEFI shell prompt
+ return EFI_SUCCESS; // or another our callback function
+}
+```
+
+I've already mentioned couple of times, that we need to unregister callback function on driver unload. Why do we need that?
+
+Because these functions `MyKeyNotificationFunction` and `MyKeyNotificationFunction1` are defined in the `HotKeyDriver` memory. And as soon as we unload `HotKeyDriver` from memory, this memory would become freed/invalid. And on a hot key combination press system would try to dereference a callback function from the pointer to this invalid region. This would lead to an exception.
+
+For the unregister operation EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_INPUT_EX_PROTOCOL defines `UnregisterKeyNotify` function:
+```
+EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_INPUT_EX_PROTOCOL.UnregisterKeyNotify()
+
+Summary:
+Remove the notification that was previously registered.
+
+Prototype:
+typedef
+EFI_STATUS
+(EFIAPI *EFI_UNREGISTER_KEYSTROKE_NOTIFY) (
+ IN EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_INPUT_EX_PROTOCOL *This,
+ IN VOID *NotificationHandle
+ );
+
+Parameters:
+This A pointer to the EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_INPUT_EX_PROTOCOL instance.
+NotificationHandle The handle of the notification function being unregistered.
+
+Description:
+The UnregisterKeystrokeNotify() function removes the notification which was previously registered.
+```
+
+Let's use it to unregister our callbacks:
+```
+EFI_STATUS
+EFIAPI
+HotKeyDriverUnload(
+ IN EFI_HANDLE ImageHandle
+ )
+{
+ if (!InputEx)
+ return EFI_SUCCESS;
+
+ EFI_STATUS Status;
+
+ if (!NotifyHandle) {
+ Status = InputEx->UnregisterKeyNotify(InputEx,
+ (VOID*)NotifyHandle);
+
+ if (EFI_ERROR(Status)) {
+ Print(L"Error! Can't perform RegisterKeyNotify: %r", Status);
+ return Status;
+ }
+ }
+
+ if (!NotifyHandle1) {
+ Status = InputEx->UnregisterKeyNotify(InputEx,
+ (VOID*)NotifyHandle1);
+
+ if (EFI_ERROR(Status)) {
+ Print(L"Error! Can't perform RegisterKeyNotify: %r", Status);
+ return Status;
+ }
+ }
+
+ return EFI_SUCCESS;
+}
+```
+
+Now it is time to build and test our driver.
+
+To avoid terminal translations of non-ordinary keys to escape sequences we shouldn't run our QEMU with `-nographic` option as we usually do.
+
+We can either boot it with native graphics, or with graphics through the vnc server:
+```
+qemu-system-x86_64 \
+ -drive if=pflash,format=raw,file=Build/OvmfX64/RELEASE_GCC5/FV/OVMF.fd \
+ -drive format=raw,file=fat:rw:~/UEFI_disk
+```
+```
+qemu-system-x86_64 \
+ -drive if=pflash,format=raw,file=Build/OvmfX64/RELEASE_GCC5/FV/OVMF.fd \
+ -drive format=raw,file=fat:rw:~/UEFI_disk
+ -vnc :1
+```
+
+Once we boot QEMU, load our driver into OVMF:
+```
+FS0:\> load HotKeyDriver.efi
+Image 'FS0:\HotKeyDriver.efi' loaded at 6646000 - Success
+```
+
+If numlock is disabled only one callback is possible:
+- `left ctrl + left alt + z` produces
+```
+FS0:\>
+Hot Key 1 is pressed
+```
+If numlock is enabled:
+- `z` produces `Hot Key 2 is pressed`
+```
+FS0:\>
+Hot Key 2 is pressed
+```
+- `left ctrl + left alt + z` produces both prints:
+```
+FS0:\>
+Hot Key 1 is pressed
+Hot Key 2 is pressed
+```
+
+Don't forget to flush your screen with `cls` command in UEFI shell between different keystroke combinations, so you woudn't miss any new output.
+
+Also be aware that if QEMU is run in `-nographic` mode all the modifires are not parsed. So every `z` keystroke would always result with both callbacks:
+```
+FS0:\> z
+Hot Key 1 is pressed
+Hot Key 2 is pressed
+```
