RegisterHotkey

Hotkeys are buttons events triggered on key release. They must be registered using registerHotkey() at root level, outside of any event, in the init.lua file.

Hotkeys are not triggered while the player stay pressed on a game's keybind.

For example, if the player move forward with "W" and press a Hotkey at the same time, it won't be triggered.

For this reason, it is recommended to use Inputs instead, as they are always triggered.
