UKismetInputLibrary::Key_GetNavigationAction

function Engine Blueprint Deprecated Since unknown

Deprecated: Use Get Key Event Navigation Action instead

#include "Kismet/KismetInputLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure

Description

Returns the UI navigation action (Accept, Back, or Invalid) mapped to this key by Slate's navigation config.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Deprecated — use Key_GetNavigationActionFromKey instead, which takes the full FKeyEvent and reports more accurate results.
• Returns EUINavigationAction::Invalid if FSlateApplication is not initialized (e.g. dedicated server or very early startup), so a fallback default is not needed but the result must still be checked.
• Navigation actions come from the currently active Slate navigation config, not a fixed engine-wide table, so results can differ between menu widgets that install their own config.
