isChar

---

Returns a boolean indicating whether the event produced a key character or not.

Syntax

bool = event.isChar
 

Parameters

boolean true | false

Example

if e.isChar   echoInput(e.type); }

Notes

Some key combos may raise events but not produce any character (example: ctrl + alt ?). When this is the case, isChar returns false.

isChar is used when event handlers need to do something like echo the input on the screen.
