Use these keycodes in your on_key_press function to process player input. For example:

if (keycode == eKeyA) Display("You pressed A");
if (keycode == eKeyPlus) Display("You pressed the Plus key");

The following extra codes can only be used with IsKeyPressed (i.e. on_key_press is never called with these codes):

AGS keycode	Key	ASCII code
`eKeyShiftLeft`	Left Shift	403
`eKeyShiftRight`	Right Shift	404
`eKeyCtrlLeft`	Left Ctrl	405
`eKeyCtrlRight`	Right Ctrl	406
none	Alt	407
