Parameters

Returns

Event A new Event with EventType.KeyDown and the requested KeyCode and optional EventModifier.

Description

Create a keyboard event.

This is useful when you need to check if a certain key has been pressed - possibly with modifiers. The syntax for the key string is a key name (same as in the Input Manager), optionally prefixed by any number of modifiers:
& = Alternate, ^ = Control, % = Command/Windows key, # = Shift
Examples: &f12 = Alternate + F12, "^[0]" = Control + keypad0 .


See the Input Manager manual page for more information on key names.

using UnityEngine;

public class Example : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Detects if the Enter key was pressed
    void OnGUI()
    {
        GUILayout.Label("Press Enter To Start Game");

        if (Event.current.Equals(Event.KeyboardEvent("[enter]")))
        {
            Application.LoadLevel(1);
        }

        if (Event.current.Equals(Event.KeyboardEvent("return")))
        {
 		Debug.Log("I said enter, not return - try the keypad");
        }
    }
}
