Plugin description:
The plugin assigns common events and switches to keyboard, gamepad, and mouse keys.
The plugin has 2 parameters: Common Events and Switches. They differ only in one field: in Common Events, the number of the common event is set, and in Switch - the switch. The other fields are shared:

• Device type - the device that you want to track clicks on.
• Key name - string identifier of the button.
• Key number - numeric identifier of the button.

Starting from version 1.1.0, blocking can be enabled in General Events. If it is enabled, then you can retriggered the event only after it completes execution.

First, the plugin searches for the Key name in the standard dictionaries of the engine. If you haven't redefined them, then they look like this:
keyBoard:

• 9: "tab", // tab
• 13: "ok", // enter
• 16: "shift", // shift
• 17: "control", // control
• 18: "control", // alt
• 27: "escape", // escape
• 32: "ok", // space
• 33: "pageup", // pageup
• 34: "pagedown", // pagedown
• 37: "left", // left arrow
• 38: "up", // up arrow
• 39: "right", // right arrow
• 40: "down", // down arrow
• 45: "escape", // insert
• 81: "pageup", // Q
• 87: "pagedown", // W
• 88: "escape", // X
• 90: "ok", // Z
• 96: "escape", // numpad 0
• 98: "down", // numpad 2
• 100: "left", // numpad 4
• 102: "right", // numpad 6
• 104: "up", // numpad 8
• 120: "debug" // F9

gamepad:

• 0: "ok", // A
• 1: "cancel", // B
• 2: "shift", // X
• 3: "menu", // Y
• 4: "pageup", // LB
• 5: "pagedown", // RB
• 12: "up", // D-pad up
• 13: "down", // D-pad down
• 14: "left", // D-pad left
• 15: "right" // D-pad right

mouse:

• 0: "left"
• 1: "middle"
• 2: "right"

If the plugin has not found the Key name, then it takes the value of Key number.
If a keyboard, gamepad, or mouse was pressed during the game, the plugin checks whether a general event or switch is assigned to the key.
If a general event is assigned, it is executed. It is not recommended to specify a parallel or automatic event. If a switch is assigned, its value is reversed.
