Functions
const std::string &	GetFriendlyName (uint8 key)
	Returns the friendly name for a key value.
const std::string &	GetPersistentIdentifier (uint8 key)
	Returns an string that can be used to uniquely identify the key again after the program has exited.
uint8	FindKey (const std::string &persistentIdentifier)
	Finds a key given a persistent identifier. Returns 0 if not found;.
bool	IsKeyDown (uint8 key)
	Returns whether the specified key is currently down.
const std::vector< uint8 > &	GetCurrentlyPressedKeys ()
	Returns a list of keys that are currently pressed down.
const std::vector< uint8 > &	GetNewlyPressedKeys ()
	Returns a list of keys that were newly pressed within the last frame.
bool	UpdateTypedText (std::string &textToEdit)
	Updates a string with text typed by the user. If the user had pressed backspace, the last character is removed. Enter is also stored in the string as . Returns true if the text was changed.
void	SetCaptureMode (bool captureTypedText, bool captureKeyState)
	Sets the capture mode for keyboard input. This controls whether typed text or key state is captured and made available to the app. By default both are captured.
bool	IsCapturingText ()
	Returns whether typed text is currently being captured.
bool	IsCapturingState ()
	Returns whether key state is currently being captured.
UnifiedButton *	GetUnifiedButton (uint8 key)
	Returns a unified button that represents a specific key.
UnifiedAxisSet *	GetUnifiedAxisSetArrows ()
	Returns a unified axis set for the keyboard directional arrows.
UnifiedAxisSet *	GetUnifiedAxisSetLetters ()
	Returns a unified axis set for the keyboard letters.
UnifiedAxisSet *	GetUnifiedAxisSetNumpad ()
	Returns a unified axis set for the keyboard numpad.
