No getkey()?

[cheako]

To probe for the current state of a key or button.

Edit: Getter for mouse location.

See the docs: You get events as they happen delivered to the closure you pass to event_loop.run().

Edit: ... If you want to remember some state across events, implementing that is your responsibility.

Maybe we could change this issue to be about including an example for this pattern.

@felixrabe What about access to the current keyboard state, XkbGetState() for example.

[ryanisaacg]

The ability to check a key isn't available on all Winit platforms (e.g. web) so the API doesn't expose a way to do it.

[felixrabe]

It could be a candidate for adding to a platform-specific extension trait.
