system.keys

The keys module assigns names to the keycode constants that Phoenix sends in key events, and adds a few functions to make using them easier. This module uses the same names as the CraftOS keys API, so porting programs should be trivial.

getName(id: number): string|nil

Returns the name for the specified keycode.

Arguments

1. id: The keycode to check

Return Values

The name (which is a key in keys), or nil if the code is invalid

getCharacter(id: number): string|nil

Returns a printable representation of the keycode if available.

Arguments

1. id: The keycode to check

Return Values

The keycode’s character (in lowercase), or nil if the code doesn’t have a printable representation
