Basalt/docs/events/KeyEvents.md

Here we will talk about keyboard events and how you can manipulate them. There are 2 possible key events you can add to almost every visual object.

onKey

onKey(self, event, key)
The computercraft event which triggers this method is key. Any visual object can register onKey events.

Here is a example on how to add a onKey event to your frame:

local basalt = dofile("basalt.lua")

local mainFrame = basalt.createFrame("myMainFrame"):show()
local subFrame = mainFrame:addFrame("subFrame"):setPosition(3,3):setSize(18,6):setBar("Sub Frame",colors.black):showBar():show()

function openSubFrame()
  subFrame:show()
end
mainFrame:onKey(openSubFrame)

onKeyUp

onKeyUp(self, event, key)
The computercraft event which triggers this method is key_up. Any visual object can register onKeyUp events.

Here is a example on how to add a onKeyUp event to your frame:

local basalt = dofile("basalt.lua")

local mainFrame = basalt.createFrame("myMainFrame"):show()
local subFrame = mainFrame:addFrame("subFrame"):setPosition(3,3):setSize(18,6):setBar("Sub Frame",colors.black):showBar():show()

function openSubFrame()
  subFrame:show()
end
mainFrame:onKeyUp(openSubFrame)
