The action is one of `GLFW_PRESS`, `GLFW_REPEAT` or `GLFW_RELEASE`. The key
will be `GLFW_KEY_UNKNOWN` if GLFW lacks a key token for it, for example
_E-mail_ and _Play_ keys.
The action is one of `GLFW_PRESS`, `GLFW_REPEAT` or `GLFW_RELEASE`. Events with
`GLFW_PRESS` and `GLFW_RELEASE` actions are emitted for every key press. Most
keys will also emit events with `GLFW_REPEAT` actions while a key is held down.
Key events with `GLFW_REPEAT` actions are intended for text input. They are
emitted at the rate set in the user's keyboard settings. At most one key is
repeated even if several keys are held down. `GLFW_REPEAT` actions should not
be relied on to know which keys are being held down or to drive animation.
Instead you should either save the state of relevant keys based on `GLFW_PRESS`
and `GLFW_RELEASE` actions, or call @ref glfwGetKey, which provides basic cached
key state.
The key will be one of the existing [key tokens](@ref keys), or
`GLFW_KEY_UNKNOWN` if GLFW lacks a token for it, for example _E-mail_ and _Play_
keys.
The scancode is unique for every key, regardless of whether it has a key token.
Scancodes are platform-specific but consistent over time, so keys will have
