# play.input

> Talos next · Since next

Press input-map actions through their bound keys, as the player's keyboard does.

Each is held "frames" ticks (a paused world stays paused), then released; "held" keeps it down until "release", [0, 0] or Play stops. Partial or keyless axis values are held as analog; a keyless button by its mouse button (own Play: by name). A key the top screen takes: consumedByUi: true. Unbound names: "unbound".
