Functions

Get

Function	Return Type	Description
Down(Idstring/String key)	Boolean	Returns true if the key that is defined in key is pressed down
Released(Idstring/String key)	Boolean	Returns true if the key that is defined in key was released in the last frame
Pressed(Idstring/String key)	Boolean	Returns true if the key that is defined in key was pressed in the last frame
Trigger(Idstring/String key, function clbk)	Userdata (trigger)	Adds a trigger, basically every time the key gets pressed the callback will run, returns a trigger object
TriggerRelease(Idstring/String key, function clbk)	Userdata (trigger)	Adds a release trigger, same as trigger just for releasing the key and returns a trigger object also
Triggered(Table trigger, Boolean check_mouse_too)	Boolean	Checks trigger table (not be confused with the trigger userdata object) if it's pressed. The trigger is a product from the function TriggerDataFromString. Mostly cotains the values: key for the key, additional_key for another key that is required for the trigger and clbk for a callback when the trigger is pressed (Something you need to call by yourself)
TriggerDataFromString(String str, Function clbk)	Table	Converts a string to a table of trigger data. The table contains key, additional_key and clbk (from the parameter clbk which is from the function's parameters). str is supposed to be either a simple key or "key+additional_key" for keybinds like "ctrl+s" etc
