logicalKey property
override
Returns an object representing the logical key that was pressed.
This method takes into account the key map and modifier keys (like SHIFT) to determine which logical key to return.
If you are looking for the character produced by a key event, use RawKeyEvent.character instead.
If you are collecting text strings, use the TextField or CupertinoTextField widgets, since those automatically handle many of the complexities of managing keyboard input, like showing a soft keyboard or interacting with an input method editor (IME).
See also:
- physicalKey for the location-specific key generated by this event.
- RawKeyEvent.logicalKey, where this value is available on the event.
Implementation
@override
LogicalKeyboardKey get logicalKey {
// If the key has a printable representation, then make a logical key based
// on that.
if (codePoint != 0) {
final int flutterId = LogicalKeyboardKey.unicodePlane | codePoint & LogicalKeyboardKey.valueMask;
return kFuchsiaToLogicalKey[flutterId] ?? LogicalKeyboardKey(LogicalKeyboardKey.unicodePlane | codePoint & LogicalKeyboardKey.valueMask);
}
// Look to see if the hidUsage is one we know about and have a mapping for.
final LogicalKeyboardKey? newKey = kFuchsiaToLogicalKey[hidUsage | LogicalKeyboardKey.fuchsiaPlane];
if (newKey != null) {
return newKey;
}
// This is a non-printable key that we don't know about, so we mint a new
// code.
return LogicalKeyboardKey(hidUsage | LogicalKeyboardKey.fuchsiaPlane);
}
