get_key

Returns whether a key is currently held down. See Key Names for valid names.

If you pass a combo with multiple keys (e.g. "ctrl+shift"), all of them need to be held for it to return true.

Example

tx.bind("Z", function()
    if tx.get_key("shift") then
        tx.switch_mode("Wide")
    else
        tx.switch_mode("Thin")
    end
end)

Arguments

• key: string

Return values

• pressed: boolean

This function can be called at any time.
