The ON KEYDOWN event is triggered when a key is pressed down inside of a custom @window.

This event fills the following identifiers:

$keyvalThe unicode character value of the key pressed
$keycharThe actual character pressed
$keyrptIf the key is being held down/repeating

Synopsis

ON <level>:KEYDOWN:<@>:<key,...,keyN>:<commands>

Parameters

<level>The level for the event to trigger.

<@>The custom window where this event should listen. Can be @ for all windows.

<commands>The specific key, or keys to listen for. Can specify multiple keys, such as: 

ON *:KEYDOWN:@myWindow:38,42,55,78:echo -a $keyval

Example

Create an alias that launches a custom, picture window which listens for key presses and displays the key value pressed, the key character pressed, and if it is repeating: 

alias keyDownTest {
  window -p $+ $iif($window(@myWindow),ra) @myWindow 550 300 250 105
}
ON *:KEYDOWN:@myWindow:*: {
  clear @myWindow
  drawtext @myWindow 1 3 3 Key value: $iif($keyval,$v1,NA)
  drawtext @myWindow 1 3 25 Key character: $iif($keychar,$v1,NA)
  drawtext @myWindow 1 3 47 @myWindow Repeating: $keyrpt
}

The following command can now be typed into any mIRC command prompt: 

/keyDownTest

Below is an image reflecting what this example will look like:

This screenshot shows an example of the ON KEYDOWN event custom example.

Note that this makes use of a picture window, as well as the drawtext command. These types of windows and their tools can be very powerful in creating some amazing graphical layouts, as well as mIRC games.
