<p>GLFW provides many kinds of input. While some can only be polled, like time, or only received via callbacks, like scrolling, many provide both callbacks and polling. Callbacks are more work to use than polling but is less CPU intensive and guarantees that you do not miss state changes.</p>
<p>All input callbacks receive a window handle. By using the <a class="el" href="window_guide.html#window_userptr">window user pointer</a>, you can access non-global structures or objects from your callbacks.</p>
<p>To get a better feel for how the various events callbacks behave, run the <code>events</code> test program. It register every callback supported by GLFW and prints out all arguments provided for every event, along with time and sequence information.</p>
<h1><a class="anchor" id="events"></a>
Event processing</h1>
<p>GLFW needs to poll the window system for events both to provide input to the application and to prove to the window system that the application hasn't locked up. Event processing is normally done each frame after <a class="el" href="window_guide.html#buffer_swap">buffer swapping</a>. Even when you have no windows, event polling needs to be done in order to receive monitor and joystick connection events.</p>
<p>There are three functions for processing pending events. <a class="el" href="group__window.html#ga37bd57223967b4211d60ca1a0bf3c832">glfwPollEvents</a>, processes only those events that have already been received and then returns immediately.</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><a class="code" href="group__window.html#ga37bd57223967b4211d60ca1a0bf3c832">glfwPollEvents</a>();</div>
</div><!-- fragment --><p>This is the best choice when rendering continuously, like most games do.</p>
<p>If you only need to update the contents of the window when you receive new input, <a class="el" href="group__window.html#ga554e37d781f0a997656c26b2c56c835e">glfwWaitEvents</a> is a better choice.</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><a class="code" href="group__window.html#ga554e37d781f0a997656c26b2c56c835e">glfwWaitEvents</a>();</div>
</div><!-- fragment --><p>It puts the thread to sleep until at least one event has been received and then processes all received events. This saves a great deal of CPU cycles and is useful for, for example, editing tools.</p>
<p>If you want to wait for events but have UI elements or other tasks that need periodic updates, <a class="el" href="group__window.html#ga605a178db92f1a7f1a925563ef3ea2cf">glfwWaitEventsTimeout</a> lets you specify a timeout.</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><a class="code" href="group__window.html#ga605a178db92f1a7f1a925563ef3ea2cf">glfwWaitEventsTimeout</a>(0.7);</div>
</div><!-- fragment --><p>It puts the thread to sleep until at least one event has been received, or until the specified number of seconds have elapsed. It then processes any received events.</p>
<p>If the main thread is sleeping in <a class="el" href="group__window.html#ga554e37d781f0a997656c26b2c56c835e">glfwWaitEvents</a>, you can wake it from another thread by posting an empty event to the event queue with <a class="el" href="group__window.html#gab5997a25187e9fd5c6f2ecbbc8dfd7e9">glfwPostEmptyEvent</a>.</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><a class="code" href="group__window.html#gab5997a25187e9fd5c6f2ecbbc8dfd7e9">glfwPostEmptyEvent</a>();</div>
</div><!-- fragment --><p>Do not assume that callbacks will <em>only</em> be called in response to the above functions. While it is necessary to process events in one or more of the ways above, window systems that require GLFW to register callbacks of its own can pass events to GLFW in response to many window system function calls. GLFW will pass those events on to the application callbacks before returning.</p>
<p>For example, on Windows the system function that <a class="el" href="group__window.html#ga371911f12c74c504dd8d47d832d095cb">glfwSetWindowSize</a> is implemented with will send window size events directly to the event callback that every window has and that GLFW implements for its windows. If you have set a <a class="el" href="window_guide.html#window_size">window size callback</a> GLFW will call it in turn with the new size before everything returns back out of the <a class="el" href="group__window.html#ga371911f12c74c504dd8d47d832d095cb">glfwSetWindowSize</a> call.</p>
<h1><a class="anchor" id="input_keyboard"></a>
Keyboard input</h1>
<p>GLFW divides keyboard input into two categories; key events and character events. Key events relate to actual physical keyboard keys, whereas character events relate to the Unicode code points generated by pressing some of them.</p>
<p>Keys and characters do not map 1:1. A single key press may produce several characters, and a single character may require several keys to produce. This may not be the case on your machine, but your users are likely not all using the same keyboard layout, input method or even operating system as you.</p>
<h2><a class="anchor" id="input_key"></a>
Key input</h2>
<p>If you wish to be notified when a physical key is pressed or released or when it repeats, set a key callback.</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><a class="code" href="group__input.html#ga1caf18159767e761185e49a3be019f8d">glfwSetKeyCallback</a>(window, key_callback);</div>

<p>The scancode is unique for every key, regardless of whether it has a key token. Scancodes are platform-specific but consistent over time, so keys will have different scancodes depending on the platform but they are safe to save to disk. You can query the scancode for any <a class="el" href="group__keys.html">named key</a> on the current platform with <a class="el" href="group__input.html#ga67ddd1b7dcbbaff03e4a76c0ea67103a">glfwGetKeyScancode</a>.</p>

<h2><a class="anchor" id="input_char"></a>
Text input</h2>
<p>GLFW supports text input in the form of a stream of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode">Unicode code points</a>, as produced by the operating system text input system. Unlike key input, text input obeys keyboard layouts and modifier keys and supports composing characters using <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_key">dead keys</a>. Once received, you can encode the code points into UTF-8 or any other encoding you prefer.</p>
<p>Because an <code>unsigned int</code> is 32 bits long on all platforms supported by GLFW, you can treat the code point argument as native endian UTF-32.</p>
<p>If you wish to offer regular text input, set a character callback.</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><a class="code" href="group__input.html#gab25c4a220fd8f5717718dbc487828996">glfwSetCharCallback</a>(window, character_callback);</div>

<h2><a class="anchor" id="raw_mouse_motion"></a>
Raw mouse motion</h2>
<p>When the cursor is disabled, raw (unscaled and unaccelerated) mouse motion can be enabled if available.</p>
<p>Raw mouse motion is closer to the actual motion of the mouse across a surface. It is not affected by the scaling and acceleration applied to the motion of the desktop cursor.

Gamepad input</h2>
<p>The joystick functions provide unlabeled axes, buttons and hats, with no indication of where they are located on the device. Their order may also vary between platforms even with the same device.</p>
<p>To solve this problem the SDL community crowdsourced the <a href="https://github.com/gabomdq/SDL_GameControllerDB">SDL_GameControllerDB</a> project, a database of mappings from many different devices to an Xbox-like gamepad.</p>
<p>GLFW supports this mapping format and contains a copy of the mappings available at the time of release. See <a class="el" href="input_guide.html#gamepad_mapping">Gamepad mappings</a> for how to update this at runtime. Mappings will be assigned to joysticks automatically any time a joystick is connected or the mappings are updated.</p>
<p>You can check whether a joystick is both present and has a gamepad mapping with <a class="el" href="group__input.html#gad0f676860f329d80f7e47e9f06a96f00">glfwJoystickIsGamepad</a>.</p>

Gamepad mappings</h2>
<p>GLFW contains a copy of the mappings available in <a href="https://github.com/gabomdq/SDL_GameControllerDB">SDL_GameControllerDB</a> at the time of release. Newer ones can be added at runtime with <a class="el" href="group__input.html#gaed5104612f2fa8e66aa6e846652ad00f">glfwUpdateGamepadMappings</a>.</p>

<div class="line"><a class="code" href="group__input.html#gaed5104612f2fa8e66aa6e846652ad00f">glfwUpdateGamepadMappings</a>(mappings);</div>
</div><!-- fragment --><p>This function supports everything from single lines up to and including the unmodified contents of the whole <code>gamecontrollerdb.txt</code> file.</p>
<p>Below is a description of the mapping format. Please keep in mind that <b>this description is not authoritative</b>. The format is defined by the SDL and SDL_GameControllerDB projects and their documentation and code takes precedence.</p>
<p>Each mapping is a single line of comma-separated values describing the GUID, name and layout of the gamepad. Lines that do not begin with a hexadecimal digit are ignored.</p>
<p>The first value is always the gamepad GUID, a 32 character long hexadecimal string that typically identifies its make, model, revision and the type of connection to the computer. When this information is not available, the GUID is generated using the gamepad name. GLFW uses the SDL 2.0.5+ GUID format but can convert from the older formats.</p>
<p>The second value is always the human-readable name of the gamepad.</p>
<p>All subsequent values are in the form <code><field>:<value></code> and describe the layout of the mapping. These fields may not all be present and may occur in any order.</p>
<p>The button fields are <code>a</code>, <code>b</code>, <code>c</code>, <code>d</code>, <code>back</code>, <code>start</code>, <code>guide</code>, <code>dpup</code>, <code>dpright</code>, <code>dpdown</code>, <code>dpleft</code>, <code>leftshoulder</code>, <code>rightshoulder</code>, <code>leftstick</code> and <code>rightstick</code>.</p>
<p>The axis fields are <code>leftx</code>, <code>lefty</code>, <code>rightx</code>, <code>righty</code>, <code>lefttrigger</code> and <code>righttrigger</code>.</p>
<p>The value of an axis or button field can be a joystick button, a joystick axis, a hat bitmask or empty. Joystick buttons are specified as <code>bN</code>, for example <code>b2</code> for the third button. Joystick axes are specified as <code>aN</code>, for example <code>a7</code> for the eighth button. Joystick hat bit masks are specified as <code>hN.N</code>, for example <code>h0.8</code> for left on the first hat. More than one bit may be set in the mask.</p>
<p>Before an axis there may be a <code>+</code> or <code>-</code> range modifier, for example <code>+a3</code> for the positive half of the fourth axis. This restricts input to only the positive or negative halves of the joystick axis. After an axis or half-axis there may be the <code>~</code> inversion modifier, for example <code>a2~</code> or <code>-a7~</code>. This negates the values of the gamepad axis.</p>
<p>The hat bit mask match the <a class="el" href="group__hat__state.html">hat states</a> in the joystick functions.</p>
<p>There is also the special <code>platform</code> field that specifies which platform the mapping is valid for. Possible values are <code>Windows</code>, <code>Mac OS X</code> and <code>Linux</code>.</p>
<p>Below is an example of what a gamepad mapping might look like. It is the one built into GLFW for Xbox controllers accessed via the XInput API on Windows. This example has been broken into several lines to fit on the page, but real gamepad mappings must be a single line.</p>
