This event class contains information about keypress (character) events.

+Notice that there are three different kinds of keyboard events in wxWidgets:
key down and up events and char events. The difference between the first two
is clear - the first corresponds to a key press and the second to a key
release - otherwise they are identical. Just note that if the key is
$1$, the ASCII value of this key combination.
You may discover how the other keys on your system behave interactively by
-running the \helpref{text}{sampletext} wxWindows sample and pressing some keys

in any of the text controls shown in it.
{\bf Note:} If a key down ({\tt EVT\_KEY\_DOWN}) event is caught and
enables the programs that handle both types of events to be a bit
simpler.

{\bf Tip:} be sure to call {\tt event.Skip()} for events that you don't process in
key event function, otherwise menu shortcuts may cease to work under Windows.
\member{bool}{m\_altDown}
-TRUE if the Alt key is pressed down.
+true if the Alt key is pressed down.
\membersection{wxKeyEvent::m\_controlDown}
\member{bool}{m\_controlDown}
-TRUE if control is pressed down.
+true if control is pressed down.
\membersection{wxKeyEvent::m\_keyCode}
\member{bool}{m\_metaDown}
-TRUE if the Meta key is pressed down.
+true if the Meta key is pressed down.
\membersection{wxKeyEvent::m\_shiftDown}
\member{bool}{m\_shiftDown}
-TRUE if shift is pressed down.
+true if shift is pressed down.
\membersection{wxKeyEvent::m\_x}
\constfunc{bool}{AltDown}{\void}
-Returns TRUE if the Alt key was down at the time of the key event.
+Returns true if the Alt key was down at the time of the key event.
\membersection{wxKeyEvent::ControlDown}
\constfunc{bool}{ControlDown}{\void}
-Returns TRUE if the control key was down at the time of the key event.
+Returns true if the control key was down at the time of the key event.
\membersection{wxKeyEvent::GetKeyCode}
\constfunc{long}{GetX}{\void}
-Returns the X position of the event.
+Returns the X position (in client coordinates) of the event.
\membersection{wxKeyEvent::GetY}
\constfunc{long}{GetY}{\void}
-Returns the Y position of the event.
+Returns the Y (in client coordinates) position of the event.
\membersection{wxKeyEvent::MetaDown}
\constfunc{bool}{MetaDown}{\void}
-Returns TRUE if the Meta key was down at the time of the key event.
+Returns true if the Meta key was down at the time of the key event.
\membersection{wxKeyEvent::GetPosition}
\constfunc{void}{GetPosition}{\param{long *}{x}, \param{long *}{y}}
-Obtains the position at which the key was pressed.
+Obtains the position (in client coordinates) at which the key was pressed.
\membersection{wxKeyEvent::HasModifiers}
\constfunc{bool}{HasModifiers}{\void}
-Returns TRUE if either {\sc Ctrl} or {\sc Alt} keys was down
+Returns true if either {\sc Ctrl} or {\sc Alt} keys was down
at the time of the key event. Note that this function does not take into
account neither {\sc Shift} nor {\sc Meta} key states (the reason for ignoring
the latter is that it is common for {\sc NumLock} key to be configured as
\constfunc{bool}{ShiftDown}{\void}
-Returns TRUE if the shift key was down at the time of the key event.
+Returns true if the shift key was down at the time of the key event.
