		<member name="echo" type="bool" setter="set_echo" getter="is_echo" default="false">
			If [code]true[/code], the key was already pressed before this event. It means the user is holding the key down.

		<member name="physical_scancode" type="int" setter="set_physical_scancode" getter="get_physical_scancode" default="0">
			Key physical scancode, which corresponds to one of the [enum KeyList] constants. Represent the physical location of a key on the 101/102-key US QWERTY keyboard.
			To get a human-readable representation of the [InputEventKey], use [code]OS.get_scancode_string(event.physical_scancode)[/code] where [code]event[/code] is the [InputEventKey].

		<member name="pressed" type="bool" setter="set_pressed" getter="is_pressed" default="false">
			If [code]true[/code], the key's state is pressed. If [code]false[/code], the key's state is released.

		<member name="scancode" type="int" setter="set_scancode" getter="get_scancode" default="0">
			The key scancode, which corresponds to one of the [enum KeyList] constants. Represent key in the current keyboard layout.
			To get a human-readable representation of the [InputEventKey], use [code]OS.get_scancode_string(event.scancode)[/code] where [code]event[/code] is the [InputEventKey].

			The key Unicode identifier (when relevant). Unicode identifiers for the composite characters and complex scripts may not be available unless IME input mode is active. See [method OS.set_ime_active] for more information.
