<c>key.keyNames</c> returns a list of all the key names available for use with key.pressed.

=== Usage Notes ===
This can be used, for example, to check all possible inputs, if waiting for the user to press anything to continue, or while configuring their
input preferences.

<ms>while true
for n in key.keyNames
if key.pressed(n) then print n
end for
end while</ms>

+This can be used to check (via <c>[[key.pressed]]</c>) all possible button-like inputs (keypresses, joystick buttons, etc). For example: if waiting for the user to press anything to continue or while configuring their input preferences.
-Though some values may overlap, the values from <c>[[key]].keyNames</c> are not always the same that are received from <c>[[key.get]]</c>. Characters such as upper case letters, arrow keys, etc., as returned from <c>[[key.get]]</c> cannot be used in <c>[[key.pressed]]</c>.
+Note the values from <c>[[key]].keyNames</c> are not the same that are received from <c>[[key.get]]</c>. <c>[[key.get]]</c> returns characters including upper- and lower-case letters, etc., which may be generated by a single key or some key combination (such as shift-4 for $ on a U.S. keyboard), whereas <c>[[key]].keyNames</c> and <c>[[key.pressed]]</c> refer to physical hardware keys, regardless of what character (if any) they generate.
