UKismetInputLibrary::Key_GetDisplayName
#include "Kismet/KismetInputLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure
Description
Returns the localized, human-readable display name of a key, suitable for showing key bindings in UI.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • The returned FText is localized to the current culture — do not compare it against a hardcoded string to identify the key, compare the FKey itself instead.
- • Short display names (bLongDisplayName=false) are not defined for every key; some keys fall back to the long name regardless.
