hotkeysLua table

The hotkeys table reads Windows virtual key codes. Use it in a loaded module to react to a key without repeating an action on every update.

hotkeys.down(vk)Copy Anchor Link

Parameters: vk is a Windows virtual key code from 1 to 255. Returns: true while the key is down, false otherwise, or nil, error for an invalid code.

if hotkeys.down(0x70) then
    log.info("F1 is held")
end

hotkeys.pressed(vk)Copy Anchor Link

Parameters: vk follows the same key-code rule. Returns: true once per key press in this script, false otherwise, or nil, error for an invalid code.

function on_tick()
    if hotkeys.pressed(0x70) then
        log.info("F1 pressed")
    end
end
