# SDL.SDLEvent(3kaya)

An input event

## NAME

SDL::SDLEvent - An input event

## SYNOPSIS

**SDL::SDLEvent\<** **\>**

-

  \=  **KeyDown(***SDL::SDLKey key,\[SDL::KeyModifier\] modifiers***)**

-

  \|  **MouseMove(***Int x,Int y***)**

-

  \|  **MouseButton(***Int button,Int bx,Int by***)**

## DESCRIPTION

An input event - either a key being pressed, the mouse being moved to a particular location, or a mouse button being pressed while the mouse is at a particular location.

The left mouse button is usually button 1, with the right button given number 2. In theory, a sufficiently large mouse could go up to button 255.

The **SDL.KeyModifier (3kaya)** list allows detection of whether particular modifier keys are pressed, allowing combinations such as 'Ctrl-Numpad7' to be detected.
