All Known Implementing Classes:
KeySensor
public interface KeySensor
extends X3DKeyDeviceSensorNode
KeySensor generates events as the user presses keys on the keyboard.

X3D node tooltip: [X3DKeyDeviceSensorNode] KeySensor generates events as the user presses keys on the keyboard. Browser support includes the notion of "keyboard focus".

    • getIsActive

      boolean getIsActive()
      Provide boolean value from outputOnly SFBool field named isActive.

      Tooltip: Select geometry by activating the pointing device (e.g. clicking the mouse) to generate isActive events. Output event isActive=true is sent when geometry is selected (e.g. when primary mouse button is pressed), output event isActive=false is sent when geometry is deselected (e.g. when primary mouse button is released).
