```
    Polls the keyboard for its current state. Access the polled values using the isKeyDown method. By using this method, it is possible to "miss" keyboard keys if you don't poll fast enough. To use buffered values, you have to call next for each event you want to read. You can query which key caused the event by using getEventKey. To get the state of that key, for that event, use getEventKeyState - finally use getEventCharacter to get the character for that event. NOTE: This method does not query the operating system for new events. To do that, Display.processMessages() (or Display.update()) must be called first.

  - isKeyDown
```
public static boolean isKeyDown(int key)
```
    Checks to see if a key is down.
    
    Parameters:
    key - Keycode to check
    
    Returns:
    true if the key is down according to the last poll()
  - getKeyName
```
public static java.lang.String getKeyName(int key)
```
    Gets a key's name
    
    Parameters:
    key - The key
    
    Returns:
    a String with the key's human readable name in it or null if the key is unnamed
  - getKeyIndex
```
public static int getKeyIndex(java.lang.String keyName)
```
    Get's a key's index. If the key is unrecognised then KEY_NONE is returned.
    
    Parameters:
    keyName - The key name
  - getNumKeyboardEvents
```
public static int getNumKeyboardEvents()
```
    Gets the number of keyboard events waiting after doing a buffer enabled poll().
    
    Returns:
    the number of keyboard events
  - next
```
public static boolean next()
```
    Gets the next keyboard event. You can query which key caused the event by using getEventKey. To get the state of that key, for that event, use getEventKeyState - finally use getEventCharacter to get the character for that event.
    
    Returns:
    true if a keyboard event was read, false otherwise

    getEventKey(), getEventKeyState(), getEventCharacter()
  - enableRepeatEvents
```
public static void enableRepeatEvents(boolean enable)
```
    Controls whether repeat events are reported or not. If repeat events are enabled, key down events are reported when a key is pressed and held for a OS dependent amount of time. To distinguish a repeat event from a normal event, use isRepeatEvent().
    
    See Also:
    getEventKey()
  - areRepeatEventsEnabled
```
public static boolean areRepeatEventsEnabled()
```
    Check whether repeat events are currently reported or not.
    
    Returns:
    true is repeat events are reported, false if not.
    See Also:
    getEventKey()
  - getKeyCount
```
public static int getKeyCount()
```
    Returns:
    Number of keys on this keyboard
  - getEventCharacter
```
public static char getEventCharacter()
```
    Returns:
    The character from the current event
  - getEventKey
```
public static int getEventKey()
```
    Please note that the key code returned is NOT valid against the current keyboard layout. To get the actual character pressed call getEventCharacter
    
    Returns:
    The key from the current event
  - getEventKeyState
```
public static boolean getEventKeyState()
```
    Gets the state of the key that generated the current event
    
    Returns:
    True if key was down, or false if released
  - getEventNanoseconds
```
public static long getEventNanoseconds()
```
    Gets the time in nanoseconds of the current event. Only useful for relative comparisons with other Keyboard events, as the absolute time has no defined origin.
    
    Returns:
    The time in nanoseconds of the current event
  - isRepeatEvent
```
public static boolean isRepeatEvent()
```
    Returns:
    true if the current event is a repeat event, false if the current event is not a repeat even or if repeat events are disabled.
