Keyboard Input - Cocos2d-X 3.0

Hi all, I’ve been using Cocos2d-X 2.1.4 for a few months now and feel somewhat confident with it. I downloaded the 3.0 Alpha build a couple of days ago after deciding to build a desktop game (OSX/Windows). Keyboard/touch input was easy with 2.1.4, but it appears to be a bit more difficult on 3.0. Does anyone know how keyboard/mouse input works for Windows/Mac? I’ve spent 2 days looking around at the samples, tutorials, other forum posts and so on, and have not found an answer.

Set flag isShooting to false.
Change it to true on this method: KeyboardTest::onKeyPressed
Change it to false on this method: KeyboardTest::onKeyReleased

Keep shooting while isShooting is true.
(You can use schedule for continue shooting.)

Is this->schedule(SCHEDULE_SEL(&MY_FUNCTION)); the right way to schedule a function?

Probably not. I recommand using schedule(schedule_selector(MyClass::myFunction), 0.f) or schedule([this](float dt){ myFunction(dt); }, 0.f, "myFunction"). myFunction must accept a float as parameter in the former.
