Game Engine bge.events module
=============================

*****
Intro
*****

This module holds key constants for the SCA_KeyboardSensor.

.. module:: bge.events

.. code-block:: python

	# Set a connected keyboard sensor to accept F1
	import bge
	
	co = bge.logic.getCurrentController()
	# 'Keyboard' is a keyboard sensor
	sensor = co.sensors["Keyboard"]
	sensor.key = bge.keys.F1KEY

.. code-block:: python

	# Do the all keys thing
	import bge
	
	co = bge.logic.getCurrentController()
	# 'Keyboard' is a keyboard sensor
	sensor = co.sensors["Keyboard"]

	for key,status in sensor.events:
		# key[0] == bge.keys.keycode, key[1] = status
		if status == bge.logic.KX_INPUT_JUST_ACTIVATED:
			if key == bge.keys.WKEY:
				# Activate Forward!
			if key == bge.keys.SKEY:
				# Activate Backward!
			if key == bge.keys.AKEY:
				# Activate Left!
			if key == bge.keys.DKEY:
				# Activate Right!
