Add Keyboard Support

Hopscotch Language Evolution

A feature I’d like to see in Hopscotch is:
Keyboard Support (either as event or conditional but preferably also some way that I can use a variable to check the keycode)
(or maybe bind a keyboard key to pressing an object)

I’d use it for this type of project:
Could be anything, I already have used it to mod platformers and shift-click Minesweeper.
If I made it work, THT can too!

Here are some examples of Hopscotch code that could be improved if we had this:
I could actually play a platformer on a computer

Here is an example design I’ve made:

This is what I use currently: a conditional that checks by key ID which can also be controlled by a variable #blockrender

I’ve seen something similar in another programming languages, it looks like this:

I meant for this to enhance the playing experience from a desktop where tilt and touchscreen often aren’t features that are available.

Yes, and a last key (orange bubble) would also be really helpful
