gollark: Oh, you should use `os.pullEvent` and not `coroutine.yield` too, right.
gollark: Your thing will be running in a CraftOS environment instead of the BIOS one, so presumably you can use the `keys` library and make it easier.
gollark: This is adapted slightly from the keyboard shortcuts daemon in potatOS.
gollark: ```lualocal keys_down = {}local keyboard_commands = { -- whatever}local function keyboard_shortcuts() while true do local ev = {coroutine.yield()} if ev[1] == "key" then keys_down[ev[2]] = true if keyboard_commands[ev[2]] and keys_down[157] then -- right ctrl keyboard_commands[ev[2]]() end elseif ev[1] == "key_up" then keys_down[ev[2]] = false end endend```
gollark: Oh, right. I'll pull up the PotatoBIOS code for that.
