Supports key presses, key releases and [member echo] events. [b]Note:[/b] Events received from the keyboard usually have all properties set. Event mappings should have only one of the [member keycode], [member physical_keycode] or [member unicode] set. When events are compared, properties are checked in the following priority - [member keycode], [member physical_keycode] and [member unicode], events with the first matching value will be considered equal. </description> <tutorials> <link title="InputEvent">$DOCS_URL/tutorials/inputs/inputevent.html</link> </tutorials> <methods> <method name="as_text_key_label" qualifiers="const"> <return type="String" /> <description> Returns a [String] representation of the event's [member key_label] and modifiers. </description> </method> <method name="as_text_keycode" qualifiers="const"> <return type="String" /> <description> Returns a [String] representation of the event's [member keycode] and modifiers. </description> </method> <method name="as_text_physical_keycode" qualifiers="const"> <return type="String" /> <description> Returns a [String] representation of the event's [member physical_keycode] and modifiers. </description> </method> <method name="get_key_label_with_modifiers" qualifiers="const"> <return type="int" enum="Key" /> <description> Returns the localized key label combined with modifier keys such as [kbd]Shift[/kbd] or [kbd]Alt[/kbd].
