GetAnyKeyPressed

This function was added in DSL 1

Description​

Returns any keyId that would satisfy IsKeyPressed.

function GetAnyKeyPressed() --[[ ... ]] end

Parameters​

None.

Return Values​

  • keyId: integer? - The ID of the key that is currently pressed. nil if no key is pressed.

Versions​

  • DSL4 - DirectInput keyboard scan codes are now used, but virtual key code names will still be converted for legacy support.
  • DSL5 - Keys are also reported as pressed when they are being pressed, and no longer when they are being released.

Example​

function main()
  while true do
    local key = GetAnyKeyPressed()
    if key then
      DrawTextInline('Key ID ' .. tostring(key) .. ' is currently pressed!', 0, 1)
    end
    Wait(0)
  end
end
