How to get KeyDownEvent to work.

First I apologize for all the threads as of recent.


I'm using Unity 2019.3.8 and for some reason am having trouble getting KeyDownEvent's working on my elements.

I was able to get the mouseEventDown working no problem but can't for the life of me get key downs working.

An example of what I'm doing.

I've experimenting setting the root pickingmode to and playing with the elements picking mode and Focus() calls.

I'm very confused as to what is needed to get this working.

Code (CSharp):

1. root.pickingMode = PickingMode.Position;
2.  

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. var bottom = root.Q<VisualElement>();
3. bottom?.RegisterCallback<KeyDownEvent>((e) =>
4. {
5.       Debug.Log(e.keyCode);
6. });

 

Sorry for the late response. I recently went about trying to get this to work and for some reason the element is constantly getting unfocused. despite calling Focus()


The only way i was able to get the key to work was by having a MouseMove event triggered at the same time as pressing my keys.

Is there any example demonstrating a quick and easy way to get a keyboard action working without the keys toggling other parts of the unity editor??

 

Same here, Key events just don't work.

I created a custom editor window, and registered KeyUpEvent on its root visual element:

Code (CSharp):

1. this.rootVisualElement.RegisterCallback<KeyUpEvent>( evt => { Debug.Log( evt.keyCode ); });

Nothing is happening. No matter if this window is focused or not.

Also, I want to move my SceneView IMGUI input system to UITollkit, but it just doesn't work. SceneView is receiving key events (as I can see through Event Debugger) but my registered events do not run, I tried TrickleDown/NoTrickleDown, tried to register key events on a parent, parent.parent and etc. Nothing work.

I agree with Anisoft, there's just no clear demonstration of how to force key events to work with UIToolkit. Pointer events work, ChangeValue, etc. work, but KeyUp/KeyDown does not.
