ALLEGRO_KEYBOARD_STATE(3alleg5)

✨ ALLEGRO_KEYBOARD_STATE ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro 5 API 💖 this one's short and sweet, don't stress.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ALLEGRO_KEYBOARD_STATE — she's a whole struct, and she's about to tell you what your keyboard was doing at one specific moment in time 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

typedef struct ALLEGRO_KEYBOARD_STATE ALLEGRO_KEYBOARD_STATE;

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So here's the tea ☕ — this struct is literally a snapshot of a keyboard's state at one particular instant. Like, a freeze-frame. A little polaroid of your keys at time t. 📸✨

It holds the following publicly readable fields:

• display — points to the display that had keyboard focus at the time the state was saved. And if no display was focused? Then it points to NULL. That's it, that's the field. 🙈

⚠️ real talk, queen: you cannot read the state of keys directly from this thing. Not even a little. Do not try it. Instead you use the function al_key_down(3alleg5) — that's the one who does the actual key-checking, she's the main character here, this struct is just the storage unit. 👑
