@fabianroling and anyone else who can't use third-party software: the this documentKeyboard Scan Code Specification from Microsoft has the definitions for all the scan codes. It also says the following:

Under all Microsoft operating systems, all keyboards actually transmit Scan Code Set 2 values down the wire from the keyboard to the keyboard port. These values are translated to Scan Code Set 1 by the i8042 port chip. The rest of the operating system, and all applications that handle scan codes expect the values to be from Scan Code Set 1.

So, nothing Windows-specific, just standard Set 1 codes.
