MOLEMA_MOTSWI

→ LEFT_ARROW

The value standing for the left arrow key.

MOLEMA_MOTSWI

You hand it to taetsiETshwerwe:

fa (taetsiETshwerwe(MOLEMA_MOTSWI)) { x = x - 3; }

You can also compare it against khoutuYaTaetsi: fa (khoutuYaTaetsi === MOLEMA_MOTSWI).

It is a string, not a number. MOLEMA_MOTSWI is 'ArrowLeft'. This is why Bopa has no numeric key-code keyword: comparing it against this value compares a number with a string, and is always maaka.

The four arrows translate and the other keys do not — and the reason is simple: a SHIFT key has the word Shift printed on it, while an arrow key has an arrow, not a word. An arrow is a thing, and the thing has a Setswana name. MOLEMA (LEFT) and MOTSWI (ARROW) are both already in Bopa, so no new word was needed.
