Read the key or the mouse button (do not wait) (For modes 2D, 3D, Console)
Returns state of keys and mouse buttons.
This command can be used in the case you don't want the program to wait for the key press and you want only handle the key from the buffer.
Program does not stop at this command. It will only take look at the keyboard buffer whether there is any unhandled key. If there is such key, program remembers all about it similarly to the Read the key or the mouse button (with waiting) command.

Clear input queue (For modes 2D, 3D, Console)
Clears queue of input events from keyboard and mouse.
Sometimes you would want Baltie to forget all former key presses to ensure that it will handle only the keys pressed since the moment. This task is solved by the Clear keyboard buffer icon that clears the buffer.

Enabled input from the keyboard and from the mouse. (For modes 2D, 3D)
Turns input from keyboard or mouse on or off.
If you disable the keyboard input, Baltie ignores every key or mouse button press in the Read key... commands. This can be used e. g. in the case you want the keyboard buffer to stay unchanged in some part of the program
