In most cases you won’t have to use this directly, just use the Learn button. It contains the key code on which to respond. You can use keycode.info to find out the key code you are looking for.
If you want to only trigger when a key has been pressed while the canvas has the focus (when you clicked in the canvas before) use true. If you want key presses to trigger even if the canvas is not in focus set it to false (global mode).
