KeyboardDeviceConnected:Int32 device:Int32

Parameter	Mode	Type	Default	Description
device	In	Int32	required	The keyboard to ask, counted from 0 in the order they were seen.

Returns: 1 if the keyboard is connected, otherwise 0 (also for a number that no keyboard has).

Description

Tells if a keyboard is still plugged in. A keyboard that was removed keeps its number, so a number never means a different keyboard later on; one that is plugged in again gets its old number back.

Differences

• This is a BlitzLLVM extension: the original has no such command.
