FS.GG.UI.KeyboardInput 0.10.0

FS.GG.UI.KeyboardInput

Package-owned keyboard input runtime, reducer, effect, diagnostics, and state display contracts for FS.GG.UI products.

FS.GG.UI.KeyboardInput is one of the FS.GG.UI distribution packages — an F# / Elmish UI and 2D scene-graph framework for .NET 10 desktop, rendered through Vulkan + SkiaSharp.

Install

dotnet add package FS.GG.UI.KeyboardInput

Or scaffold a full governed project that wires the FS.GG.UI packages together:

dotnet new install FS.GG.UI.Template
dotnet new fs-gg-ui -o MyApp

Usage

open FS.GG.UI.KeyboardInput

// Bind host keys to product commands.
let bindings =
    [ { Key = "ArrowUp"; Command = "move-up" }
      { Key = "Enter"; Command = "confirm" } ]

// Initialise the keyboard runtime model + startup effects.
let model, _initEffects = Keyboard.init bindings

// Normalise a raw host key event, then feed it to the reducer.
let viewerKey, isDown = ViewerKeyboard.normalizeEvent { RawKey = "ArrowUp"; Direction = KeyDown }
let keyId = ViewerKeyboard.toKeyId viewerKey
let model, effects = Keyboard.update (KeyboardMsg.KeyDown keyId) model

// React to resolved commands and surface diagnostics.
for effect in effects do
    match effect with
    | CommandResolved cmd -> printfn "command resolved: %s" cmd
    | ReportKeyboardDiagnostic d -> printfn "[%s] %s" d.Severity d.Message
    | _ -> ()

// Project a snapshot for HUD / state display rendering.
let display = Keyboard.stateDisplay model
printfn "pressed: %A active layout: %s" display.PressedKeys display.ActiveLayout

API at a glance

• Keyboard.init — builds the initial KeyboardModel from a KeyboardBinding list and returns startup KeyboardEffects.
• Keyboard.update — the Elmish reducer; applies a KeyboardMsg (key down/up, focus lost, layout/mode changes, sequence resolution) and returns the new model plus emitted effects.
• Keyboard.stateDisplay — projects a KeyboardStateDisplay snapshot (pressed keys, active layout, mode stack, pending sequence, last command) for rendering.
• ViewerKeyboard.normalize / normalizeEvent — turn a raw host key string or ViewerKeyEvent into a typed ViewerKey (plus direction flag).
• ViewerKeyboard.toKeyId — converts a ViewerKey into the KeyId used by bindings and the reducer.
• KeyboardEffect — the effects the runtime emits: CommandResolved, KeyStateChanged, LayoutChanged, ModeChanged, StateDisplayChanged, ReportKeyboardDiagnostic, RequestHostKeyCapture, and more.
• KeyboardModel / KeyboardMsg — the runtime state record and the message set driving the reducer.
• KeyboardDiagnostic — a structured diagnostic (Code, Severity, Message, optional Key) reported via effects.

Versioning

All FS.GG.UI.* libraries share one version and move together. In a generated project a single <FsGgUiVersion> in Directory.Packages.props pins every package — upgrading is one edit; see docs/UPGRADING.md. Pre-release versions use a -preview.N suffix.
