We've got in touch with Brady, so can now do the last of the docs \o/! Also pick up a couple of stragglers that I'd missed from before.

This event is fired when any key is pressed while the terminal is focused.
|
|
|
|
This event returns a numerical "key code" (for instance, <kbd>F1</kbd> is 290). This value may vary between versions and
|
|
so it is recommended to use the constants in the [`keys`] API rather than hard coding numeric values.
|
|
|
|
If the button pressed represented a printable character, then the [`key`] event will be followed immediately by a [`char`]
|
|
event. If you are consuming text input, use a [`char`] event instead!
|
|
|
|
## Return values
|
|
1. [`string`]: The event name.
|
|
2. [`number`]: The numerical key value of the key pressed.
|
|
3. [`boolean`]: Whether the key event was generated while holding the key ([`true`]), rather than pressing it the first time ([`false`]).
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
Prints each key when the user presses it, and if the key is being held.
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
while true do
|
|
local event, key, is_held = os.pullEvent("key")
|
|
print(("%s held=%s"):format(keys.getName(key), is_held))
|
|
end
|
|
```
