Documentation for the GameKeys module.
======================================

This module holds key constants for the SCA_KeyboardSensor.


Example::
	# Set a connected keyboard sensor to accept F1
	import GameLogic
	import GameKeys
	
	co = GameLogic.getCurrentController()
	# 'Keyboard' is a keyboard sensor
	sensor = co.getSensor('Keyboard')
	sensor.key = GameKeys.F1KEY

Example::
	# Do the all keys thing
	import GameLogic
	import GameKeys
	
	co = GameLogic.getCurrentController()
	# 'Keyboard' is a keyboard sensor
	sensor = co.getSensor('Keyboard')
	keylist = sensor.events
	for key in keylist:
		# key[0] == GameKeys.keycode, key[1] = status
		if key[1] == GameLogic.KX_INPUT_JUST_ACTIVATED:
			if key[0] == GameKeys.WKEY:
				# Activate Forward!
			if key[0] == GameKeys.SKEY:
				# Activate Backward!
			if key[0] == GameKeys.AKEY:
				# Activate Left!
			if key[0] == GameKeys.DKEY:
				# Activate Right!
