key.keyNames returns a list of all the key names available for use with key.pressed.

Usage Notes

This can be used to check (via key.pressed) 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.

Note the values from key.keyNames are not the same that are received from key.get. key.get 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 key.keyNames and key.pressed refer to physical hardware keys, regardless of what character (if any) they generate.

Example 1

while true
	for n in key.keyNames
		if key.pressed(n) then
			while key.pressed(n)
			end while
			print n
		end if
	end for
end while
