    I come back to check on an older feature that used to work, but now, several engine updates later, this seems to have been broken.

    I had a Script on a conditional branch that checks if a key is pressed, and it would then act on that:
    Code:
    Input.isPressed('a')
    However, in the newer engine version, nothing happens. Any help on making this work again?

    This doesn't have to do with the version of MV, as this was never a feature of the base engine. More likely, you directly edited the rpg_core.js file and your edits were overwritten or you used a plugin to enable this feature and are no longer using it.

    In order for this to work, the game has to know what keyboard key corresponds to the letter 'a'. In a new plugin, put this line of code and you should be good to go:
    Code:
    Input.keyMapper[65] = 'a';

    Code:
    Input.keyMapper = {
    9: 'tab',       // tab
    13: 'ok',       // enter
    16: 'shift',    // shift
    17: 'control',  // control
    18: 'control',  // alt
    27: 'escape',   // escape
    32: 'ok',       // space
    33: 'pageup',   // pageup
    34: 'pagedown', // pagedown
    37: 'left',     // left arrow
    38: 'up',       // up arrow
    39: 'right',    // right arrow
    40: 'down',     // down arrow
    45: 'escape',   // insert
    81: 'pageup',   // Q
    87: 'pagedown', // W
    88: 'escape',   // X
    90: 'ok',       // Z
    96: 'escape',   // numpad 0
    98: 'down',     // numpad 2
    100: 'left',    // numpad 4
    102: 'right',   // numpad 6
    104: 'up',      // numpad 8
    120: 'debug'    // F9
};

    As @Aloe Guvner mentioned, you can add the "A" key into the keymapper using

    Code:
    Input.keyMapper[65] = 'a';

    You could add other keys using keycode and keyname pairs found on this chart. You could even rename them like the "ok", "escape" and so forth.

    Thanks, I got it working now. I guess I did that a long time ago and then forgot about it.
