KeyPressed is an event class which occurs when a key on the keyboard is pressed down.
This class gains key and modifiers readers from the KeyboardEvent mixin module.
It also has string, which is a UTF8 string containing the text character that was generated by the keystroke; if nothing was generated, string will be the empty string, "".
The string attribute is useful for for taking text input (e.g. in a GUI). It supports UTF8 Unicode characters, and works correctly on many different types of keyboards.
