Exceptions

LWJGLException:

if the keyboard could not be created for any reason

Returns:int

The key from the current event

Gets the state of the key that generated the current event

Returns:boolean

True if key was down, or false if released

Gets the time in nanoseconds of the current event. Only useful for relative comparisons with other Keyboard events, as the absolute time has no defined origin.

Returns:long

The time in nanoseconds of the current event

Returns:int

Number of keys on this keyboard

Get's a key's index. If the key is unrecognised then KEY_NONE is returned.

Gets the next keyboard event. You can query which key caused the event by using getEventKey. To get the state of that key, for that event, use getEventKeyState - finally use getEventCharacter to get the character for that event.

Returns:boolean

true if a keyboard event was read, false otherwise

Polls the keyboard for its current state. Access the polled values using the isKeyDown method. By using this method, it is possible to "miss" keyboard keys if you don't poll fast enough. To use buffered values, you have to call next for each event you want to read. You can query which key caused the event by using getEventKey. To get the state of that key, for that event, use getEventKeyState - finally use getEventCharacter to get the character for that event.
