Easy way to check CTRL ALT SHIFT etc keys #279
Description
Activity
Additional: There's currently no easy way to tell whether modifier keys are down at any given moment for pointers. I believe we can only get modifiers at the instance of pointerdown. Easy checks would let us do pointer work without having to build a keyboard abstraction layer.
It would be nice to have properties on
game.input.keyboardto quickly check the status of common toggle keys, e.g.game.input.keyboard.isShiftDown.We can already check this on a per-game basis by setting up listeners for
SHIFT-DOWNetc, but this entails an extra interface abstraction layer.If we do this in-engine, we can also set up some robust handlers around it. For example, if we discover it gets stuck after
ALT-TABorCOMMAND-TABoperations - which it might, because the keyup happens outside the browser - we can set up extra listeners for focus etc.Worth investigating.
