love.keyboard.isScancodeDown

Available since LÖVE 0.10.0
This function is not supported in earlier versions.

Checks whether the specified Scancodes are pressed. Not to be confused with love.keypressed or love.keyreleased.

Unlike regular KeyConstants, Scancodes are keyboard layout-independent. The scancode "w" is used if the key in the same place as the "w" key on an American keyboard is pressed, no matter what the key is labelled or what the user's operating system settings are.
