Keyboard use on a control

[Xarxus]

Is there a way to intercept the keypress event on a control?
Something like keydown, keyup

I think keypresses are handled by the Unity engine itself and then passed to FG. So I think you'd need to intercept them from outside FG - but I'm no expert in this.

Look at windowcontrol.onClickDown/onClickRelease. There are tons of examples in the built-in rulesets.

If you just need a button, you can look at buttoncontrol.onButtonPressed too.

Those are mouse events. I was talking about keyboard events.
Do they react even to keyboard?

There are functions for IsControlPressed and onControl and the same for Shift and Alt

That might be the limit.

What I'd like to do is change a selection in a windowlist on pressing arrows on the keyboard. From what I see in
the Input API there are events only for pressing the Alt, Control and Shift keys.

I think they can be used with a statement like
Input.addEventHandler("onAlt", myFunction);
How do I intercept the arrow keys?

[damned]

Im pretty sure you cant.

Only text controls support any sort of arrow navigation events. It really hasn't come up as a needed capability more than once or twice in the last 12 years. For text controls, the events are onNavigateLeft, onNavigateRight, onNavigateUp, onNavigateDown; and they will only trigger when on the boundary of the field (i.e. arrow left when in zero character position; arrow right in last character position; arrow down when on last line; arrow up when on first line).
