- *  handle in an appropriate manner.  If apps do not explicitly mark these
- *  events as 'Handled', then the OS will invoke its default behavior for
- *  unhandled back-button-press events, which on Windows Phone 8 and 8.1 is to
- *  terminate the app (and attempt to switch to the previous app, or to the
- *  device's home screen).
- *
- *  Setting the SDL_HINT_WINRT_HANDLE_BACK_BUTTON hint to "1" will cause SDL
- *  to mark back-button-press events as Handled, if and when one is sent to
- *  the app.
- *
- *  Internally, Windows Phone sends back button events as parameters to
- *  special back-button-press callback functions.  Apps that need to respond
- *  to back-button-press events are expected to register one or more
- *  callback functions for such, shortly after being launched (during the
- *  app's initialization phase).  After the back button is pressed, the OS
- *  will invoke these callbacks.  If the app's callback(s) do not explicitly
- *  mark the event as handled by the time they return, or if the app never
- *  registers one of these callback, the OS will consider the event
- *  un-handled, and it will apply its default back button behavior (terminate
- *  the app).
- *
- *  SDL registers its own back-button-press callback with the Windows Phone
- *  OS.  This callback will emit a pair of SDL key-press events (SDL_EVENT_KEY_DOWN
- *  and SDL_EVENT_KEY_UP), each with a scancode of SDL_SCANCODE_AC_BACK, after which
- *  it will check the contents of the hint, SDL_HINT_WINRT_HANDLE_BACK_BUTTON.
- *  If the hint's value is set to "1", the back button event's Handled
- *  property will get set to 'true'.  If the hint's value is set to something
- *  else, or if it is unset, SDL will leave the event's Handled property
- *  alone.  (By default, the OS sets this property to 'false', to note.)
- *
- *  SDL apps can either set SDL_HINT_WINRT_HANDLE_BACK_BUTTON well before a
- *  back button is pressed, or can set it in direct-response to a back button
- *  being pressed.
- *
- *  In order to get notified when a back button is pressed, SDL apps should
- *  register a callback function with SDL_AddEventWatch(), and have it listen
- *  for SDL_EVENT_KEY_DOWN events that have a scancode of SDL_SCANCODE_AC_BACK.
- *  (Alternatively, SDL_EVENT_KEY_UP events can be listened-for.  Listening for
- *  either event type is suitable.)  Any value of SDL_HINT_WINRT_HANDLE_BACK_BUTTON
- *  set by such a callback, will be applied to the OS' current
- *  back-button-press event.
- *
- *  More details on back button behavior in Windows Phone apps can be found

+ *
+ * Windows Phone devices typically feature a Back button.  When pressed, the OS will emit back-button-press events, which apps are expected to handle in an appropriate manner.  If apps do not explicitly mark these events as 'Handled', then the OS will invoke its default behavior for unhandled back-button-press events, which on Windows Phone 8 and 8.1 is to terminate the app (and attempt to switch to the previous app, or to the device's home screen).
+ *
+ * Setting the SDL_HINT_WINRT_HANDLE_BACK_BUTTON hint to "1" will cause SDL to mark back-button-press events as Handled, if and when one is sent to the app.
  *
- *  On GDK, if SDL_GDK_TEXTINPUT is defined, you can use the
- *  standard SDL text input and virtual keyboard capabilities
- *  to get text from the user.
+ * Internally, Windows Phone sends back button events as parameters to special back-button-press callback functions.  Apps that need to respond to back-button-press events are expected to register one or more callback functions for such, shortly after being launched (during the app's initialization phase).  After the back button is pressed, the OS will invoke these callbacks.  If the app's callback(s) do not explicitly mark the event as handled by the time they return, or if the app never registers one of these callback, the OS will consider the event un-handled, and it will apply its default back button behavior (terminate the app).
  *
- *  This hint allows you to customize the virtual keyboard
- *  window that will be shown to the user.
+ * SDL registers its own back-button-press callback with the Windows Phone OS.  This callback will emit a pair of SDL key-press events (SDL_EVENT_KEY_DOWN and SDL_EVENT_KEY_UP), each with a scancode of SDL_SCANCODE_AC_BACK, after which it will check the contents of the hint, SDL_HINT_WINRT_HANDLE_BACK_BUTTON. If the hint's value is set to "1", the back button event's Handled property will get set to 'true'.  If the hint's value is set to something else, or if it is unset, SDL will leave the event's Handled property alone.  (By default, the OS sets this property to 'false', to note.)
  *
- *  Set this hint to change the default text value of the window.
+ * SDL apps can either set SDL_HINT_WINRT_HANDLE_BACK_BUTTON well before a back button is pressed, or can set it in direct-response to a back button being pressed.
  *
- *  This hint will not affect a window that is already being
- *  shown to the user. It will only affect new input windows.
+ * In order to get notified when a back button is pressed, SDL apps should register a callback function with SDL_AddEventWatch(), and have it listen for SDL_EVENT_KEY_DOWN events that have a scancode of SDL_SCANCODE_AC_BACK. (Alternatively, SDL_EVENT_KEY_UP events can be listened-for.  Listening for either event type is suitable.)  Any value of SDL_HINT_WINRT_HANDLE_BACK_BUTTON set by such a callback, will be applied to the OS' current back-button-press event.

- *  Sets the maximum input length of the TextInput window on GDK platforms.

  *
- *  On GDK, if SDL_GDK_TEXTINPUT is defined, you can use the
- *  standard SDL text input and virtual keyboard capabilities
- *  to get text from the user.
+ * All network-enabled WinRT apps must make a privacy policy available to its users.  On Windows 8, 8.1, and RT, Microsoft mandates that this policy be be available in the Windows Settings charm, as accessed from within the app. SDL provides code to add a URL-based link there, which can point to the app's privacy policy.
  *
- *  This hint allows you to customize the virtual keyboard
- *  window that will be shown to the user.
+ * To setup a URL to an app's privacy policy, set SDL_HINT_WINRT_PRIVACY_POLICY_URL before calling any SDL_Init() functions.  The contents of the hint should be a valid URL. For example, "http://www.example.com".
  *
- *  Set this hint to change the maximum allowed input
- *  length of the text box in the virtual keyboard window.
+ * The default value is "", which will prevent SDL from adding a privacy policy link to the Settings charm. This hint should only be set during app init.
  *
- *  The value must be a stringified integer,
- *  for example "10" to allow for up to 10 characters of text input.
+ * The label text of an app's "Privacy Policy" link may be customized via another hint, SDL_HINT_WINRT_PRIVACY_POLICY_LABEL.

- * per sample frame, for example).
+ * If set, this _might_ increase framerate at the expense of the desktop not working as expected. Override-redirect windows aren't noticed by the window manager at all.

- * SDL3 generally decides this value on behalf of the app, but if for some
- * reason the app needs to dictate this (because they want either lower
- * latency or higher throughput AND ARE WILLING TO DEAL WITH what that
- * might require of the app), they can specify it.
+ * You should probably only use this for fullscreen windows, and you probably shouldn't even use it for that. But it's here if you want to try!
  *
- * SDL will try to accomodate this value, but there is no promise you'll
- * get the buffer size requested. Many platforms won't honor this request
- * at all, or might adjust it.
+ * The variable can be set to the following values:
+ *   "0"       - Do not mark the window as override-redirect. (default)
+ *   "1"       - Mark the window as override-redirect.
  *
- * This hint is checked when opening an audio device and can be changed
- * between calls.

For "normal" windows that haven't set a specific type, this hint can be used to specify a custom type. For example, a dock window might set this to "_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DOCK".
