How to check for keyboard input directly?

Is there any way to check if, say, the S key on the keyboard is pressed? Instead of checkin for :A, :B ?

If you got a full input script then yes.

only by scripting - and then you're responsible for everything, since you can't configure the input with the default configuration menu.


That becomes important because different countries have different keyboard layouts, and depending on what you do you have to make sure that your keys aren't broken.


For example, the lowest left keys on German keyboards are yxc - I really hate games that assume zx as keys for weapon or direction switching, z is mid-top keyboard in Germany...

I see. Thanks.
