The key object handles keyboard input.

press: bool

A key was pressed.

release: bool

A key was released.

mod: object

Get the state of keyboard modifiers.

• lshift, rshift, level_5, lctrl, rctrl, lalt, ralt, lgui, rgui, num, caps, mode, scroll, ctrl, shift, alt, gui: bool

  Determine whether the keyboard modifier was active. In the example below, the box will turn red when you press left-shift and R.

  import JoBase rect = Rect() def loop(): if key.mod.lshift and key.r: rect.color = RED rect.draw() run()
