NAME
Tickit::Event - event information structures
DESCRIPTION
When event handlers bound to Tickit::Term instances are invoked they receive an object instance to contain information about the event. Details of the event can be accessed as via accessor methods on these instances.
For back-compatibility, each event type also provides a hash reference overload method that yields a hash containing keys named after the accessors. This code will be removed in a later version as per deprecation policy.
ACCESSORS
The following methods are shared between Tickit::Event::Key and Tickit::Event::Mouse instances.
mod_is_alt
mod_is_ctrl
mod_is_shift
