ALLEGRO_KEYBOARD_STATE(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this is the ALLEGRO_KEYBOARD_STATE(3) page from the Library Functions Manual, aka the Allegro 5 API. The actual name is ALLEGRO_KEYBOARD_STATE — Allegro 5 API. Slay, we been knew 💅.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

typedef struct ALLEGRO_KEYBOARD_STATE ALLEGRO_KEYBOARD_STATE;

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

bestie, this is a structure that holds a “snapshot” of a keyboard’s state at a particular instant. It contains the following publically readable fields:

• display — points to the display that had keyboard focus at the time the state was saved. If no display was focused, this points to NULL.

okay important vibe check: you cannot read the state of keys directly. Use the function al_key_down(3) — that’s the move, no cap 😭👑

---

okay that's the whole page, bestie — brought to you by the Allegro reference manual (Allegro 5 API energy), page ALLEGRO_KEYBOARD_STATE(3); the original footer didn't give me a date, so that's the honest tea 💜🫶
