A visual of what the keyboard looks like
Description
KeyboardAPI
KeyboardAPI is a tool for developers to use to create and utilize keyboards in-game through inventory GUIs.
The keyboard is shown below. Also, the letters are changed based on whether or not caps lock is on. I realize that this is not very efficient, since you cannot see what letter is what without hovering over it.
Server Owners
This plugin does nothing on it's own. It is simply a tool for developers to utilize. As far as using the keyboard, simply click on a stained glass to use that letter, (or add a space, as in the space bar). Simply hover over the book to see what you've typed. The utilities include a caps lock button, backspace, clear text, confirm, and cancel.
Developers
I've made this as simple to use as possible: to open a new keyboard for a player, simply replace title with the title you want the keyboard inventory to have, and capsLockOn whether or not caps lock will start on.
player.openInventory(Keyboard.getNewKeyboard(title, capsLockOn));
Once you have done that, listen to 'KeyboardClickEvent'. This is called just like InventoryClickEvents, but with more options, like
event.getKeyboardAction();
which will return what action was used. This includes ADD_LETTER, ADD_SPACE, BACKSPACE, CANCEL, CLEAR_TEXT, CONFIRM, and TOGGLE_CAPS_LOCK
Please keep in mind, KeyboardAPI does everything as far as entering text, toggling caps lock, backspacing, and clearing the text.
