UKismetInputLibrary::InputEvent_IsLeftControlDown

function Engine Blueprint Since unknown

#include "Kismet/KismetInputLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure

Description

Returns true if specifically the left Control 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_IsControlDown reports true.
• Reflects modifier state at the moment the event fired, not a live poll of current key state.
