User keys

[Skyld]

I would like to propose a read-only array which gives access to the user's key configuration. By example:

PHP Code:

echo(keycodes[0]); 


... would give the keycode for the user's A key (if using an order similar to keydown()'s a,s,d,m,...)

It would then be possible to do something like:

PHP Code:

function onKeyPressed(temp.keycode, temp.keychar)
{
  switch (temp.keycode)
  {
    case keycodes[0]:
    {
      // user's A key
      break;
    }

    case keycodes[1]:
    {
      // user's S key
      break;
    }
  }
} 


It would allow for a lot more flexibility when creating custom keymaps and such.

Would be interesting yes, although it is not always simple, internally it is using the DirectInput key codes, XWindows or Mac Cacoa, it is not working exactly the same as keydown2 which is just checking the keyboard state. Also it would need to return an array of keycodes I guess.
