💖 SDL_HasKeyboard(3) — SDL3 FUNCTIONS 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL_HasKeyboard(3) page from the SDL3 FUNCTIONS manual. it's short, it's sweet, it's giving "do you have a keyboard plugged in?" energy. let's go 🫶

SDL_HasKeyboard — return whether a keyboard is currently connected. like, right now. present tense. no cap. 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <SDL3/SDL_keyboard.h>

bool SDL_HasKeyboard(void);

that's the whole vibe. include the header, call the function, get a bool back. slay. ✨

so: true = keyboard bestie is here 💅, false = no keyboard detected 😭. simple as that.
