Description

This variable refers to the value that keyboard_key was in the previous frame, returning the keycode of that key (all standard keycode constants are returned). This variable is not read only and you can change it, for example to set it to -1 if you handled it already.

Syntax:

keyboard_lastkey;

Returns:

Real

Example:

if (keyboard_lastkey != -1)
   {
   str += keyboard_lastchar;
   keyboard_lastkey = -1;
   }

The above code checks to see if the lastkey variable is not equal to -1, and if it is it adds whatever the last key was as a string to the variable "str", then it resets the keyboard_lastkey variable to accept further input.
