Trait KeyboardState

pub trait KeyboardState {
    // Required methods
    fn add(&mut self, event_type: &EventType) -> Option<String>;
    fn reset(&mut self);
}

We can define a dummy Keyboard, that we will use to detect what kind of EventType trigger some String. We get the currently used layout for now ! Caveat : This is layout dependent. If your app needs to support layout switching don’t use this ! Caveat: On Linux, the dead keys mechanism is not implemented. Caveat: Only shift and dead keys are implemented, Alt+unicode code on windows won’t work.

use rdev::{Keyboard, EventType, Key, KeyboardState};

let mut keyboard = Keyboard::new().unwrap();
let string = keyboard.add(&EventType::KeyPress(Key::KeyS));
// string == Some("s")

Required Methods

fn add(&mut self, event_type: &EventType) -> Option<String>

Changes the keyboard state as if this event happened. we don’t really hit the OS here, which might come handy to test what should happen if we were to hit said key.

fn reset(&mut self)

Resets the keyboard state as if we never touched it (no shift, caps_lock and so on)
