What is Lynput?

Lynput is an input library for LÖVE that makes input handling very easy and intuitive 💙. It will make you able to do things like this:

function love.load()
  Lynput = require("Lynput") -- Load Lynput
  Lynput.load_key_callbacks() -- Load keyboard callbacks
  control = Lynput() -- Create a Lynput object
  
  control:bind(
    "moveLeft",
    {
      "hold left",
      "hold a",
    }
  )
  control:bind(
    "moveRight",
    {
      "hold right",
      "hold d",
    }
  )
  control:bind("action", "press f")
  control:bind("obey", "release any")
end

function love.update(dt)
  if control.moveLeft  then x = x - speed * dt end
  if control.moveRight then x = x + speed * dt end
  if control.action    then triggerAction()    end
  if control.obey      then obey()             end
  
  Lynput.update_(dt) -- Update Lynput
end
