Struct KeyEvent 

pub struct KeyEvent {
    pub time_ms: u32,
    pub key: u32,
    pub pressed: bool,
    pub repeat: bool,
    pub sym: u32,
    pub utf8: String,
}

A key going down or coming up.

key is the evdev code – KEY_A, KEY_LEFTSHIFT – with no xkb offset applied. Keyboard::process_key fills in sym and utf8; until it has, both are empty.

Fields

time_ms: u32

libinput’s timestamp, in milliseconds.

key: u32

The evdev keycode, without xkb’s + 8.

pressed: bool

Down, rather than up.

repeat: bool

Synthesized by the repeater rather than produced by a device.

sym: u32

The xkb keysym this resolved to.

utf8: String

What the key types, if anything.

The reference carries a char[8], so it truncates anything longer than seven bytes. Nothing a single keysym produces reaches that, but there is no reason to inherit the cliff.

impl Default for KeyEvent

fn default() -> Self

Returns the “default value” for a type.
