====== Keyboard Inputs ======

There have been many tutorials and examples covered already on using the keyboard for input. These are listed here for your convenience:

===== Config =====

The full list of keys that can be used in your config [[en:orx:config:settings_main:input_keyboard|is listed here]].

===== Getting a key display name =====

You can retrieve the display name for a key using ''orxKeyboard_GetKeyDisplayName''. This is very handy for pulling in your defined key inputs from your config, and displaying them in your UI. For example:

<code c>
const orxSTRING keyName = orxKeyboard_GetKeyDisplayName(orxKEYBOARD_KEY_SPACE);
</code>

In the above code, if ''orxKEYBOARD_KEY_SPACE'' is passed, the resulting string is ''SPACE''.
