Name

keyPressed

Description

The boolean system variable keyPressed is true if any key is pressed and false if no keys are pressed.

Note that there is a similarly named function called keyPressed(). See its reference page for more information.

Examples

  • // Click on the image to give it focus,
// and then press any key.

// Note: The rectangle in this example may 
// flicker as the operating system may 
// register a long key press as a repetition
// of key presses.

void draw() {
  if (keyPressed == true) {
    fill(0);
  } else {
    fill(255);
  }
  rect(25, 25, 50, 50);
}
