KeyPressed

Check if there is a keypress in the keybuffer

Declaration

Source position: crth.inc line 71

Description

Keypressed scans the keyboard buffer and sees if a key has been pressed. If this is the case, True is returned. If not, False is returned. The Shift, Alt, Ctrl keys are not reported. The key is not removed from the buffer, and can hence still be read after the KeyPressed function has been called.

Errors

None.
