UKismetInputLibrary::InputEvent_IsLeftCommandDown

function Engine Blueprint Since unknown

#include "Kismet/KismetInputLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure

Description

Returns true if specifically the left Command key was held down when this input event occurred.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Some platforms and virtual keyboards do not distinguish left/right modifier keys at the hardware level, in which case this can report false even while InputEvent_IsCommandDown reports true.
• Rarely needed in practice — most Command-modified shortcuts treat left and right identically, so InputEvent_IsCommandDown is the more common choice.
