UKismetInputLibrary::Key_IsKeyboardKey
#include "Kismet/KismetInputLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure
Description
Returns true if the key is a keyboard button.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Returns false for mouse and gamepad keys as well as for keyboard-adjacent input like text input events — it strictly checks the FKey's registered key category.
- • Useful for filtering a generic 'any key' input binding down to keyboard-only handling before dispatching to keybinding or remapping UI.
