Member Function Description
---------------------------

.. _class_InputEvent_action_match:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **action_match** **(** :ref:`InputEvent<class_inputevent>` event **)** const

Returns ``true`` if this event matches ``event``.

.. _class_InputEvent_as_text:

- :ref:`String<class_string>` **as_text** **(** **)** const

Returns a :ref:`String<class_string>` representation of the event.

.. _class_InputEvent_is_action:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_action** **(** :ref:`String<class_string>` action **)** const

Returns ``true`` if this input event matches a pre-defined action of any type.

.. _class_InputEvent_is_action_pressed:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_action_pressed** **(** :ref:`String<class_string>` action **)** const

Returns ``true`` if the given action is being pressed (and is not an echo event for KEY events). Not relevant for the event types ``MOUSE_MOTION``, ``SCREEN_DRAG`` or ``NONE``.

.. _class_InputEvent_is_action_released:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_action_released** **(** :ref:`String<class_string>` action **)** const

Returns ``true`` if the given action is released (i.e. not pressed). Not relevant for the event types ``MOUSE_MOTION``, ``SCREEN_DRAG`` or ``NONE``.

.. _class_InputEvent_is_action_type:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_action_type** **(** **)** const

Returns ``true`` if this input event's type is one of the ``InputEvent`` constants.

.. _class_InputEvent_is_echo:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_echo** **(** **)** const

Returns ``true`` if this input event is an echo event (only for events of type KEY).

.. _class_InputEvent_is_pressed:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_pressed** **(** **)** const

Returns ``true`` if this input event is pressed. Not relevant for the event types ``MOUSE_MOTION``, ``SCREEN_DRAG`` or ``NONE``.

.. _class_InputEvent_shortcut_match:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **shortcut_match** **(** :ref:`InputEvent<class_inputevent>` event **)** const

.. _class_InputEvent_xformed_by:

- :ref:`InputEvent<class_inputevent>` **xformed_by** **(** :ref:`Transform2D<class_transform2d>` xform, :ref:`Vector2<class_vector2>` local_ofs=Vector2( 0, 0 ) **)** const
