<description>
Stores key presses on the keyboard. Supports key presses, key releases and [member echo] events.
+ [b]Note:[/b] Events received from the keyboard usually have all properties set. Event mappings should have only one of the [member keycode], [member physical_keycode] or [member unicode] set.
+ When events are compared, properties are checked in the following priority - [member keycode], [member physical_keycode] and [member unicode], events with the first matching value will be considered equal.
