Handler for keyboard key pressed.

Declaration

Description

This handler can filter keys, for special use in e.g. non-textual controls.

The handler receives all keystrokes, including control and other non-visual keys. Keys are encoded as virtual keys, with separate active modifier keys.

Text input instead should be checked in an OnKeyPress handler.
