Enum pixel_game_lib::window::Key

pub enum Key<Str = SmolStr> {
    Named(NamedKey),
    Character(Str),
    Unidentified(NativeKey),
    Dead(Option<char>),
}

Re-export winit types. Key represents the meaning of a keypress.

This is a superset of the UI Events Specification’s KeyboardEvent.key with additions:

• All simple variants are wrapped under the Named variant
• The Unidentified variant here, can still identifiy a key through it’s NativeKeyCode.
• The Dead variant here, can specify the character which is inserted when pressing the dead-key twice.

Variants

Named(NamedKey)

A simple (unparameterised) action

Character(Str)

A key string that corresponds to the character typed by the user, taking into account the user’s current locale setting, and any system-level keyboard mapping overrides that are in effect.

Unidentified(NativeKey)

This variant is used when the key cannot be translated to any other variant.

The native key is provided (if available) in order to allow the user to specify keybindings for keys which are not defined by this API, mainly through some sort of UI.

Dead(Option<char>)

Contains the text representation of the dead-key when available.

Platform-specific

• Web: Always contains None

Implementations

impl Key

pub fn as_ref(&self) -> Key<&str>

Convert Key::Character(SmolStr) to Key::Character(&str) so you can more easily match on Key. All other variants remain unchanged.

impl Key

pub fn to_text(&self) -> Option<&str>

Convert a key to its approximate textual equivalent.

Examples

use winit::keyboard::{NamedKey, Key};

assert_eq!(Key::Character("a".into()).to_text(), Some("a"));
assert_eq!(Key::Named(NamedKey::Enter).to_text(), Some("\r"));
assert_eq!(Key::Named(NamedKey::F20).to_text(), None);
