taetsi

taetsi

When the reader presses a, taetsi is 'a'. Holding SHIFT and pressing a gives 'A'.

fa (taetsi === 'a') { ... }

taetsi also reports keys that type nothing: the left arrow key gives 'ArrowLeft', and ENTER gives 'Enter'. Measured.

Even so, taetsiETshwerwe is the right tool for arrow keys: it works when two keys are held at once, where taetsi only ever holds one — the most recent.

taetsi, not konopo. Setswana keeps the two apart: a taetsi belongs to the keyboard, a konopo to the mouse. Bopa follows that split, and it is what leaves konopo free for the mouse in konopoYaPeba.
