Good day. I have a coding question which is how do I reset the keyboard press state. I want to use the enter key and then use it again but it remembers it;s been pressed and does the second key press automatically .
Any help would be appreciated . Thanks for reading ..

sync() will reset the keyboard.
Im not sure which particular subcommand does that but you could try
Update() and/or Render() to see if either one of those clears the keyboard

Well I'm not sure if this is the correct way to do it but this works.
sync()
sync()
sync()
sync()
sync()

sync() 5 times works fine .
I've found 7 times works the best . Just thought I would share . If anybody knows a better way and there must be one please feel free to enlighten me . Thanks for the help.

It'll be easier to help you if you provide a code snippet that demonstrates the issue. Are you using GetRawKeyState() or GetRawKeyPressed()? GetRawKeyPressed() is what you want to use here, as it will return 1 for one frame only once the key has been pressed, and 0 on all subsequent frames until the key is pressed again. You definitely shouldn't be calling sync() 5 times in a row. You really should only be calling it once at the end of your main loop in 99.9% of cases.
