Called when an [InputEventKey] or [InputEventShortcut] hasn't been consumed by [method _input] or any GUI [Control] item. The input event propagates up through the node tree until a node consumes it.
Called when an [InputEventKey] or [InputEventShortcut] hasn't been consumed by [method _input] or any GUI [Control] item. It is called before [method _unhandled_key_input] and [method _unhandled_input]. The input event propagates up through the node tree until a node consumes it.
It is only called if shortcut processing is enabled, which is done automatically if this method is overridden, and can be toggled with [method set_process_shortcut_input].
To consume the input event and stop it propagating further to other nodes, [method Viewport.set_input_as_handled] can be called.
This method can be used to handle shortcuts.
This method can be used to handle shortcuts. For generic GUI events, use [method _input] instead. Gameplay events should usually be handled with either [method _unhandled_input] or [method _unhandled_key_input].
[b]Note:[/b] This method is only called if the node is present in the scene tree (i.e. if it's not orphan).

Called when an [InputEvent] hasn't been consumed by [method _input] or any GUI [Control] item. It is called after [method _shortcut_input] and after [method _unhandled_key_input]. The input event propagates up through the node tree until a node consumes it.
It is only called if unhandled input processing is enabled, which is done automatically if this method is overridden, and can be toggled with [method set_process_unhandled_input].
To consume the input event and stop it propagating further to other nodes, [method Viewport.set_input_as_handled] can be called.
For gameplay input, this and [method _unhandled_key_input] are usually a better fit than [method _input] as they allow the GUI to intercept the events first.
For gameplay input, this method is usually a better fit than [method _input], as GUI events need a higher priority. For keyboard shortcuts, consider using [method _shortcut_input] instead, as it is called before this method. Finally, to handle keyboard events, consider using [method _unhandled_key_input] for performance reasons.

Called when an [InputEventKey] hasn't been consumed by [method _input] or any GUI [Control] item. It is called after [method _shortcut_input] but before [method _unhandled_input]. The input event propagates up through the node tree until a node consumes it.

To consume the input event and stop it propagating further to other nodes, [method Viewport.set_input_as_handled] can be called.
This method can be used to handle Unicode character input with [kbd]Alt[/kbd], [kbd]Alt + Ctrl[/kbd], and [kbd]Alt + Shift[/kbd] modifiers, after shortcuts were handled.
For gameplay input, this and [method _unhandled_input] are usually a better fit than [method _input] as they allow the GUI to intercept the events first.
This method also performs better than [method _unhandled_input], since unrelated events such as [InputEventMouseMotion] are automatically filtered.
