The Key enum is used to map a specific key by name e.g. Key::Control to an internal used unicode representation. The enum is convertible to std::char and slint::SharedString. Use this with slint::platform::WindowEvent to supply key events to Slint’s platform abstraction.

Example

Send an tab key press event to a window

use slint::platform::{WindowEvent, Key};
fn send_tab_pressed(window: &slint::Window) {
    window.dispatch_event(WindowEvent::KeyPressed { text: Key::Tab.into() });
}

Variants (Non-exhaustive)

Non-exhaustive enums could have additional variants added in future. Therefore, when matching against variants of non-exhaustive enums, an extra wildcard arm must be added to account for any future variants.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Key

fn clone(&self) -> Key

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Key

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl From<Key> for SharedString

fn from(k: Key) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl From<Key> for char

fn from(k: Key) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl PartialEq for Key

fn eq(&self, other: &Key) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl Copy for Key

impl StructuralPartialEq for Key
