keyTyped

Examples
# Run this program to learn how each of these functions relate to
# the others.

draw <- function() {
}  # Empty draw() needed to keep the program running

keyPressed <- function() {
    print("keyPressed")
    print(keyCode)
    print(key)
}

keyTyped <- function() {
    print("keyTyped")
    print(keyCode)
    print(key)
}

keyReleased <- function() {
    print("keyReleased")
    print(keyCode)
    print(key)
}
Description The keyTyped() function is called once every time a key is pressed, but action keys such as Ctrl, Shift, and Alt are ignored. Because of how operating systems handle key repeats, holding down a key will cause multiple calls to keyTyped(), the rate is set by the operating system and how each computer is configured.

Mouse and keyboard events only work when a program has draw(). Without draw(), the code is only run once and then stops listening for events.
